My Take
Goalkeepers earn a special respect from me, and Kovačević spent his career as that last line of defence. Born in Split in 1974, he played the loneliest position in the game, the one praised rarely and blamed instantly. What I admire most is the second act: rather than vanish after retirement, he turned to coaching keepers at clubs like OFK Beograd, Rad and Čukarički, even crossing borders to Koper in Slovenia. Passing on a craft you mastered the hard way is its own quiet achievement, and the trust clubs placed in him speaks louder than any highlight reel.
