Félix Borja

I find Borja a wonderful character study. A 180 cm Ecuadorian striker nicknamed both the kangaroo and the cobra of Ecuador, he was clearly all spring and menace in the air, the kind of forward defenders dread on set pieces. What interests me most is the second act: now working as an assistant manager at Aucas, he is funneling a striker's instinct for the decisive moment back into the next generation. I have a soft spot for players who bloom twice, once on the pitch and again on the touchline. That continuity, from San Lorenzo to the dugout, is the mark of someone who truly loves the game.

Félix Alexander Borja Valencia (born 2 April 1983) is an Ecuadorian football coach and former player who played as a forward. He is the current assistant manager of Aucas. Borja is nicknamed the "kangaroo", or "the cobra of Ecuador", for the spring in his jump. His height makes it easy to score goals for his club and country.
