My Take
I have a soft spot for goalkeepers, and Stipe Pletikosa embodies why. At 193 cm out of Split, he spent years as Croatia's last line of defense, doing the most thankless job in football, where a single error outweighs a hundred saves. What interests me more is the second act: returning to the Croatian Football Federation as technical director, shaping the national and under-21 setups. There's a quiet integrity in moving from guarding the goal to guarding the pipeline of talent behind it. He never needed flashy headlines to matter, and that understated, institution-building career is exactly the kind I find admirable.
