My Take
Michel Preud'homme is a name that earns instant respect from anyone who knows goalkeeping. Winning the first-ever Golden Glove at the 1994 World Cup is the kind of distinction that outlives a career, and I love that he didn't drift away from the game afterward. Moving into management and then into the sporting-director chair at Standard Liege shows real football intelligence, not just reflexes. There's something fitting about a goalkeeper, the position that reads the whole pitch, becoming the person who shapes a club. He reads to me as a true lifer in the sport, the kind of figure a club builds its identity around.
