My Take
Zlatko Dalic is, in my view, one of the more underrated tournament managers of his era. Taking Croatia to a World Cup final in 2018 and a third-place finish in 2022, with a nation of barely four million people, is a feat I don't think gets enough credit. What I appreciate is the consistency: qualifying for Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 on top of those runs shows it wasn't a fluke. Born in Livno and steeped in the Croatian footballing identity, he seems to coach with a stubborn, never-fold temperament that mirrors his squads. He's been at the helm since 2017, and that stability speaks volumes.
