Sébastien Pocognoli

Sébastien Pocognoli is a player I respected for his reliability and now find genuinely intriguing as a coach. A solid Belgian left-back, he had a real journeyman's CV across Standard Liège, Genk, AZ, Hannover, West Brom, Brighton and Union SG, plus 13 caps for Belgium. That kind of well-traveled career often makes the best managers, because they have seen many football cultures up close. Taking the head coaching job at Monaco in Ligue 1 is a big leap of faith in him. I am curious whether the tactical intelligence he showed at Union SG translates to a club with much heavier expectations.
