José Luis Sierra

What I like about José Luis Sierra, known affectionately as Coto, is that his whole life has been poured into football with barely a pause. A midfielder from Santiago who enjoyed a long playing career, he retired in 2009 and was already coaching his beloved Unión Española the very next year. That instinct to immediately pass on hard-won wisdom to the next generation strikes me as admirable. Now managing Al-Wakrah, he has carried his craft from South America all the way to the Middle East, which speaks to real adaptability. And a man who keeps a warm nickname like Coto for decades was surely the kind of figure people genuinely loved to play for.

José Luis "Coto" Sierra Pando (born 5 December 1968) is a Chilean football coach and former player who manages Al-Wakrah. Playing in the midfield, he retired in 2009, and one year later he became the coach of his long-time team Unión Española.
