My Take
What grips me about Emerse Fae is the second act. Born in Nantes and capped by France at youth level, he chose Ivory Coast as his senior nation, then returned as a coach and pulled off something genuinely historic: winning a tournament after being appointed mid-competition. That is not luck, that is leadership under impossible pressure. A former midfielder, he clearly reads the whole pitch, and I suspect that panoramic vision is what lets him steady a squad in chaos. I find managers far more revealing than players, and Fae strikes me as one to watch for years to come.
