My Take

Gernot Rohr is the sort of football lifer I have enormous respect for. Born in Mannheim in 1953, he built a coaching career not by chasing glamorous European jobs but by patiently developing African national teams, most famously Nigeria and later Benin. There is something deeply admirable about choosing the harder, less celebrated path and sticking with it into your seventies. Anyone can shine with a superpower squad; far fewer can squeeze identity and progress out of sides still finding their feet. Rohr's endurance and his willingness to teach rather than just win are, to me, the real measure of a great football man.
