My Take
Ricardo Ferretti fascinates me as a man who chose his second country and never looked back. A Rio-born Brazilian who became Tuca to Mexican football, he turned a playing career built on free-kick artistry and natural leadership into one of the longest coaching tenures in the region. I have a soft spot for the foreign manager who plants roots so deep he becomes part of the local game's identity. His shift from the touchline to the broadcast booth at ESPN feels like a natural next chapter for someone whose footballing intelligence always shone brightest in the details.
