My Take
Christophe Galtier appeals to me as a true product of the dugout. He spent most of his fifteen playing years as a defender at his hometown Marseille, never a flashy star, before building a respected managerial career. Now coaching Saudi Pro League side Neom, he is exporting European know-how to an ambitious new club. I think the patience and organizational eye he developed as a defender translated naturally into coaching. I trust managers who climb the hard way, learning the game from the ground up, and Galtier strikes me as exactly that kind of grounded, self-made leader.
