My Take

Erich Ribbeck strikes me as a craftsman of German football, the kind of figure whose value is easy to underrate. Born in 1937 in Wuppertal, he spent a long career in and around the Bundesliga as player and manager. The achievement that earns my respect is winning the 1988 UEFA Cup with Bayer Leverkusen, the first major trophy in the club's history. Etching your name into a club's record book like that is a coach's purest reward. I am consistently more drawn to this sort of steady, durable professionalism than to flashier resumes; longevity at the top is its own quiet proof of quality.
