My Take
Zoran Vulić strikes me as the definition of a club man. A Split-born defender at 183 cm during his playing days, he became far more interesting as a manager, leading hometown giants Hajduk Split a record five separate times between 1998 and 2018. Anyone can be hired once; being called back five times means a city and a club trusted him deeply. I am drawn to figures whose careers keep circling back to the place that made them. The loyalty implied by that record, the willingness to keep shouldering Hajduk's pride, speaks to a rootedness in football I find genuinely admirable.
