Julien Stéphan

Julien Stéphan earns my respect for winning the Coupe de France with Rennes, the very club from his hometown. There is something poetic about a manager lifting silverware in the city that raised him. A former defensive midfielder, he strikes me as a coach defined less by flash than by tactical intelligence and quiet craftsmanship. Now testing himself in England with QPR, he faces the unglamorous grind of proving a continental reputation in a new league. I read that not as a setback but as evidence of a working manager's character, someone willing to roll up his sleeves and learn.
