My Take
Roussey's arc, from striker to manager, is the classic football lifer's path, and I respect how he stayed in the trenches rather than chasing the spotlight. A former goalscorer often makes the most empathetic coach, because he knows exactly what a forward feels in the box. His most recent stint at Lyon-Duchère, far from the glamour of the elite leagues, suggests a man who simply loves the work of developing players. These are the figures who quietly hold up the deeper layers of French football, and the game would be poorer without them.
