My Take
Steve McClaren is a fascinating study in the gap between coaching intelligence and public memory. He was a sharp tactical mind, Alex Ferguson's assistant at Manchester United during a golden run, and a respected developer of teams. Yet in England he is unfairly remembered as the umbrella man after a rainy night cost the national side a Euro qualification. To me that is a cruel reduction of a long, serious career that included reinventing himself abroad. I find his story a useful reminder of how one bad night can overshadow decades of genuine football expertise.
