José Bordalás

Jose Bordalas is the kind of figure I find quietly fascinating, because his story is really about reinvention. His playing career ended through injury before he ever made a first-team appearance for Hercules, and a lot of people would have walked away. Instead he came back to that same club as a manager in the Segunda Division and built a coaching career that took him to La Liga with Getafe. I respect that arc. There's something honest about a man who couldn't make it as a striker but refused to leave the game, and instead learned to win from the touchline.

José "Pepe" Bordalás Jiménez (born 5 March 1964) is a Spanish professional Football manager and former player who played as a striker. He is currently manager of La Liga club Getafe. His playing career ended due to injury without a first-team appearance for Hércules, and he made his professional managerial debut for the same team in Segunda División in 2006.
