Bora Milutinović

Bora Milutinović fascinates me as a true journeyman of international football. Managing at five FIFA World Cups is staggering, but doing it in five consecutive tournaments with five different national teams, Mexico, Costa Rica, the United States, Nigeria, and one more, is what really impresses me. That tells me he could walk into any football culture and quickly get a squad punching above its weight. The Serbian, born in Bajina Bašta, clearly had a gift for adapting to wildly different players and expectations rather than imposing one rigid system. Tying Carlos Alberto Parreira's record from that nomadic path makes his achievement feel even more remarkable.
