My Take
Spalletti is the kind of manager I find endlessly compelling, a tactician with the soul of an artisan. From Certaldo in Tuscany, wine country, he climbed the hard way, starting out at Empoli before building a reputation in Italy and abroad with spells at Roma, Zenit and Napoli, and now Juventus. That shaven head and piercing stare hide a restless, obsessive footballing mind. I have a soft spot for self-made men who reach the summit through sheer stubbornness and craft rather than glamour. His blend of intuition and ferocity makes his teams unmistakable, and I always pull for coaches who earn every inch.
