Milovan Rajevac

What draws me to Milovan Rajevac is the nomadic resilience of a true journeyman. Born in the Serbian mountain town of Cajetina back in 1954, he turned a playing career into a globe-trotting life as a manager, and his 2010 World Cup run guiding Ghana to within a heartbeat of the semifinals remains, to me, one of football's great underdog stories. Plenty of players become coaches, but few keep chasing the work across foreign leagues into their later years. Behind that quiet demeanor I sense a stubborn competitor, and I have a soft spot for these self-made tacticians who let results do the talking.
