My Take
Matías Almeyda is exactly the kind of figure I gravitate toward: a fighter on the pitch who became a respected manager. Playing for nine clubs across four countries over two decades, then taking the reins at Monterrey, speaks to a deep, hard-earned football intelligence. The ironic El Pelado nickname for a man with long hair hints at a personality with humor and grit. I love when a player's competitive fire carries straight into his coaching, and you sense that with him. I'd genuinely love to watch him work a touchline in person one day.
