My Take

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.

Overview

Ricardo Gomes Raymundo (born 13 December 1964) is a Brazilian retired professional footballer and manager. As a player, he played as a central defender, in a 14-year professional career, for Fluminense (six years), Benfica (four) and Paris Saint-Germain (four). Gomes played for Brazil during the 1980s and 1990s, representing the nation at the 1990 World Cup and in two Copa América tournaments.
