My Take
Miguel "Piojo" Herrera wears his heart so openly that I can't help being drawn to him. A diminutive defender who suited up for six Mexican clubs, he reinvented himself into one of the league's most charismatic managers. The touchline theatrics, the tears, the unfiltered passion when he led Mexico at the World Cup, that's coaching as pure emotion, and it's magnetic. Still grinding away in Liga MX with Atlante, he refuses to fade into administration. In an era of clipboard tacticians, Herrera moves people by sheer force of will. I find that old-school fighting spirit genuinely refreshing.
