Ricardo Gomes

Ricardo Gomes is exactly the kind of footballer I admire: the unglamorous spine of a team. A 189 cm central defender who held the line for Fluminense, Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain, then wore Brazil's shirt at the 1990 World Cup, he built his name on reliability rather than highlight reels. Defenders earn respect slowly, and his fourteen-year career across three countries speaks to a trust managers kept placing in him. What I like best is the second act: turning a life of organizing the back line into a coaching career. That instinct to teach what you mastered feels deeply right to me.
