My Take

Ricardo Gareca interests me far more as a manager than as the goal-scoring 'Tigre' he once was. Born in Tapiales, Argentina, he found his second act on the touchline, and his rescue of Peru from years of stagnation to a World Cup remains one of South American football's great turnaround stories. The affectionate nicknames he carries hint at a coach his players genuinely buy into. I admire managers who restore belief to a struggling side, and that's precisely his gift. Going on to lead Chile only underlines his standing as one of the continent's respected tacticians.
