Carlos Bianchi

Carlos Bianchi is the rare figure who was elite at the thing he did first, then somehow even better at the thing he did next. A prolific goalscorer across Argentina and France, he is remembered most as a coach, piling up titles with Velez Sarsfield and Boca Juniors. The nickname El Virrey, The Viceroy, says everything about how Argentine football regards him. What I find compelling is the second act being the bigger one. Plenty of great forwards drift after retirement, but Bianchi turned his understanding of scoring into a championship method, and that pivot is what earns my respect.
