My Take
Robert Kovac interests me as a quintessential defender's defender: born in West Berlin, capped by Croatia at two World Cups and two Euros, and built like the centre-back you want shielding your goal at 186 cm. Defending is thankless work, the kind that only gets noticed when it fails, so I respect players who make a career of it. His move into coaching, now assisting at Borussia Dortmund, reads to me as a natural second act for someone who lived through high-pressure football. He strikes me as a man who traded flash for reliability, and I tend to trust that type.
