My Take

What stands out about Borkelmans is loyalty: 350 matches for Club Brugge as a left fullback, in an era when staying put was already becoming rare. That position is one of football's most demanding and least celebrated, and doing it that consistently demands genuine discipline. The pivot into coaching, including work with the Belgian setup, tells me his on-field reading of the game carried straight into the dugout. Born in 1963 in Maaseik, he embodies an old-school professionalism I genuinely respect. I have a soft spot for one-club men who let craft, not transfers, define them.
