Quique Sánchez Flores

Quique Sánchez Flores reads to me as the quintessential Spanish football lifer, a Madrid-born right-back who became a much-traveled manager. At 176 cm he was never the most imposing player, but the longevity of his coaching career, hopping between demanding clubs that rarely offer easy jobs, tells you he brings something steadier than charisma. I am drawn to men who make the clean transition from playing to the touchline and then prove themselves by results rather than noise. Arms folded on the sideline, he looks every inch the craftsman manager, and I suspect that is exactly what he is.
