My Take

Leo Bertos earns my respect on two fronts. As a winger who served New Zealand from 2003 to 2013 and featured at the 2010 World Cup, he carried his small football nation onto the biggest stage, which is no small feat. What interests me more, though, is his transition into coaching with an Australian NPL side. I'm always drawn to athletes who choose to give back the knowledge their legs once earned them, translating instinct into instruction. His futsal background suggests a player comfortable in tight spaces and quick decisions. That same adaptability should serve him well on the touchline, shaping the next generation.
