My Take
Ziege strikes me as the quiet professional who let his football do the talking. Winning Bundesliga titles and a UEFA Cup at Bayern, then a Scudetto at AC Milan, means he conquered two of the most demanding and stylistically opposite leagues in the world, which almost no one manages. I have always thought players who absorb both German discipline and Italian cunning carry something extra into coaching, and his move into management feels like a natural second act. He is not a household name everywhere, but to me he is the real thing: an adaptable craftsman who thrived wherever he landed.
