My Take
Fabricio Coloccini is the kind of defender I always enjoyed watching, all flowing hair and unhurried composure at centre-back. He came up through Boca Juniors and caught AC Milan's eye early, but it was Newcastle United where he really became a fixture, captaining the side through some chaotic seasons. What strikes me now is the pivot into coaching, working as Fernando Gago's assistant at Universidad de Chile. It feels natural for someone who read the game so calmly as a player. I tend to think the quiet, intelligent defenders make thoughtful coaches, and Coloccini fits that mold for me.
