What makes a good coach?

A good coach balances player welfare with team strategy, making tough calls like Rudi Garcia did with Courtois. They need strong communication skills, tactical knowledge, and the ability to motivate, even when players disagree. Ultimately, it's about getting the best out of individuals for the team's overall success, sometimes requiring unpopular decisions.
