My Take
Hallgrímsson has one of the most delightful résumés in football. A dentist trained at the University of Iceland who also coached, he embodies a double life I find genuinely inspiring. He helped Iceland punch far above its weight at the Euros and now manages the Republic of Ireland. The combination intrigues me: the surgical precision of dentistry paired with the emotional intelligence to move a dressing room. Most people struggle to master one craft, yet he refused to choose.
