Eduardo Berizzo

Eduardo Berizzo interests me far more as a coach than as the central defender he was, though the two are inseparable. Eighteen years across six clubs in four countries, including Newell's, River Plate and Celta, plus two Copa América campaigns with Argentina, is the resume of a relentless professional. Defenders who survive that long tend to make thoughtful managers, and I suspect the unglamorous discipline of his playing days became the backbone of his coaching identity. I tend to trust ex-defenders in the dugout; they understand that structure wins as often as flair, and Berizzo strikes me as exactly that kind of grounded football mind.
