Jorge Luis Pinto

Jorge Luis Pinto is proof that a manager's influence has nothing to do with physical size. At just 165 cm, this Colombian from San Gil built one of the most memorable tactical stories of recent World Cups, guiding Costa Rica to the quarter-finals in 2014 against every expectation. That run, full of discipline and fearless organisation, told me everything about his cunning. He blends South American passion with a meticulous strategic mind, a rare and exciting combination. I am drawn to coaches who win with intellect and conviction rather than resources, and Pinto stands tall among them in every way that matters.
