Daniel Niculae

What I like most about Niculae is the second act. A 185 cm striker with 39 Romania caps since 2003 and a Sport Merit Medal, he has since become president of Liga I side Hermannstadt. There is something satisfying about a man who ran the channels now steering the boardroom; the competitive instinct sharpened on the pitch rarely goes to waste in management. Moving from scoring goals to building the conditions for others to score them is a graceful evolution. Plenty of forwards struggle to find purpose after the final whistle, and I respect those who reinvent themselves so cleanly.
