Didier Six

Didier Six is the kind of footballer I find irresistibly romantic: a gifted but inconsistent winger who roamed through five countries yet still climbed to the very top with France. He featured at the 1978 and 1982 World Cups and was part of the triumphant Euro 84 squad, proving that flair and fragility can coexist in the same player. That honest description, brilliant on his day and frustrating on others, makes him feel human in a way modern profiles rarely do. He kept the flame burning into management too, leading Guinea until 2021. I love this beautifully unpredictable career.

Didier Six (born 21 August 1954) is a French football manager and former player, who most recently worked as manager of the Guinea national football team until October 2021. A gifted but inconsistent winger, Six had a rather nomadic career, playing in five countries. He also played for France in the 1978 and 1982 FIFA World Cups, and was also part of the winning team at Euro 84.
