Paul Le Guen

What draws me to Paul Le Guen is the unshowy intelligence of his career. Born in Finistère, the far western edge of Brittany where land meets the Atlantic, he became a commanding midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain and won caps for France before turning to management. I find players who become coaches fascinating, because the best of them clearly read the game from above even while playing it. The fact that he went to university suggests a thinking footballer rather than a pure instinct one. There is something I trust in a quietly built reputation, and his looks exactly like that to me.

Paul Joseph Marie Le Guen (French: [pɔl lə ɡwɛn], Breton: [pawl lø ɡwɛnː]; born 1 March 1964) is a French professional football manager and former player. He was most recently the manager of French club Le Havre. During his playing career, Le Guen played as a midfielder, and enjoyed a successful stay with Paris Saint-Germain between 1991 and 1998, and won 17 caps for the France national team.
