My Take
Graham Arnold strikes me as one of football's great survivors. A former Socceroos striker who became their head coach and is now steering Iraq, he has spent more of his life in the dugout than on the pitch, and it shows in his tactical pragmatism. International management is a brutal job where adoration and blame swing wildly, yet he keeps returning to the firing line. I respect that durability. What interests me is his willingness to take on a demanding role like Iraq rather than coast on his Australian reputation. That hunger, decades into his career, is what earns my quiet admiration.
