My Take
Stuart Baxter is football's eternal wanderer, and I mean that as a compliment. English-born of Scottish parentage, he played and managed across England, Scotland, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, Japan, South Africa, Turkey and India. That passport stamp collection reflects a coach genuinely curious about how the game is played everywhere. He had real success in Japan and managed South Africa's national team, which is no small CV. I'm drawn to journeymen who choose adventure over comfort; staying coachable enough to thrive in that many footballing cultures takes a humility most managers never develop.
