José Kléberson

Kleberson is a name that carries real weight for anyone who watched Brazil lift the 2002 World Cup. As a midfielder he came up at Atletico Paranaense, winning the Brasileirao in 2001 before his career took him further afield. What interests me now is the second act: he's transitioned into coaching, which always tells me a player thought deeply about the game rather than just relying on talent. The move from elite midfield engine to head coach is a tough leap, and I respect anyone who tries to pass on what they learned at the very top of the sport.
