The World Cup Coach Who Doubles as a Dentist

Iceland head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson is also a dentist. He worked on a five square-mile (13 sq km) island called Heimaey, before getting into football management full time after the country’s Euro 2016 heroics.

The coach, who saw his team hold Argentina to a 1-1 stalemate during their World Cup opening match, is reportedly managing more than five other players in the squad, who are doctors.

He replaced Swedish Lars Lagerback at the helm.
