My Take
Uli Hoeneß is, to my mind, one of football's great second acts. A World Cup and European Championship winner as a player would be legacy enough, but what really sets him apart is building Bayern Munich into a financial and sporting powerhouse from the boardroom. I find that double mastery genuinely rare; most stars never learn to run the institution. His career argues that the sharpest football minds belong as much in the office as on the pitch. Controversies aside, I respect anyone who reaches the summit twice, in two completely different roles.
