My Take
Herdman is one of the more compelling coaching minds in the modern game, and his willingness to cross boundaries is what I admire. Taking Canada's women to back-to-back Olympic bronze and a World Cup quarter-final was no fluke, then pivoting to the men's side and now leading Indonesia shows a manager who backs his methods anywhere. He never had a stellar playing career, which only underlines that his gift is human: motivating people and building winning cultures from scratch. That kind of adaptability and emotional intelligence is rare, and I am genuinely curious what he conjures next.
