Tom Sermanni

What strikes me about Tom Sermanni is his quiet devotion to women's football long before it became fashionable. A Glaswegian who managed Australia across three separate stints, then the United States, New Zealand and Orlando, he built a career most coaches could only dream of in stability and reach. Being repeatedly invited back to the same federation says everything you need to know about the man's character and the trust he earns. He never chased the glamorous men's-game spotlight; he chose the road less travelled and tended it patiently. I deeply admire that kind of unsung, foundational work.
