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.
