My Take
Walter Zenga sits in that rare tier of goalkeepers who were both supremely reliable and quietly theatrical. Named the world's best keeper in 1989 and Europe's best in 1990, the long-serving Inter and Italy number one read the game with a confidence that bordered on swagger. What interests me most is his second act: he turned that on-field intelligence into a globe-trotting coaching career, taking jobs across continents most managers would never touch. I admire that restlessness. A man who refuses to settle, who keeps chasing the next challenge long after the trophies are won, will always have my attention and my regard.
