My Take

Goalkeepers have always fascinated me, and Ujkani's career reads like a quiet study in responsibility. From Vushtrri in Kosovo to youth football in Belgium and senior days at Anderlecht and Palermo, he built a solid career between the posts. What I respect most is the second act: stepping into the role of sports director for the Kosovo national team. There is something fitting about a man who spent his playing days as the last line of defence now becoming the steady hand guiding a young footballing nation. That continuity of duty, on the pitch and off it, earns my quiet respect.
