Paolo Orlandoni

Paolo Orlandoni earns my quiet admiration. Born in Bolzano in 1972, the towering 186 cm goalkeeper spent a long career in a position that grants no glory, then settled into the goalkeeper coaching role at Inter Milan. What draws me to him is the unglamorous nobility of the job. A keeper can play brilliantly and still never score, never grab the headline, yet he stayed the course for years and now passes his craft to younger guardians. I find more genuine character in that kind of patient, behind-the-scenes mastery than in any flashy striker. He strikes me as a true craftsman of the lonely art of defending.
