Javier Aguirre

What I admire most about Javier Aguirre is his refusal to fade out. Plenty of footballers retire and vanish, but the man they call El Vasco kept reinventing himself, from player to manager, and came back to steer the Mexico national team again. To me that signals a rare kind of competitive hunger that age never dulls. He was never the biggest player on the pitch, so I suspect his real weapon has always been the mind. I find leaders who stay in the trenches for decades genuinely compelling, and Aguirre is exactly that breed.
