My Take
Henk ten Cate occupies a place I have a soft spot for: the brilliant lieutenant beside the famous name. As Frank Rijkaard's assistant during Barcelona's 2005-06 Champions League and La Liga double, he stood inside one of the great dressing rooms of the era, then went on to win trophies managing Ajax. What I admire most now is his willingness to take charge of Suriname's national team. There is real character in a man who has tasted Europe's summit choosing to build somewhere smaller. Coaches who know how to win are interesting; coaches who try to transplant that knowledge to new soil are the ones I keep watching.
