Football consulting for football companies

In the football business, talent and practical intelligence determine the sporting and economic success of a club – both on the pitch and in the administration. Clubs operate as commercial enterprises with the aim of achieving sporting success and offering attractive football for their fans. A clever transfer policy is crucial to sustainably strengthen the club through targeted transfer income.

This is where Football Consulting comes in: with over 30 years of consulting experience and applied psychological knowledge, we analyse the cognitive abilities and personality traits of players, coaches and executives to help football companies accurately identify the key performers and youngsters who will write their success stories

player analysis

Our selection and player analysis helps the sports director to choose the best players for the team – whether through transfers or by promoting talented players from the club's own youth programme to the first team – in order to increase the club's sporting success and transfer revenues.

We analyse a player's cognitive, psychological and emotional abilities and provide valuable insights into their performance potential. Our analysis includes the ability to concentrate, to react in crucial game situations, to take initiative, to assert oneself and to make the right decision in a split second. These are key attributes that determine victory or defeat.

team analysis

Team harmony is a decisive factor for the success of a football team. Our analysis method not only captures the individuality of the players, but also their compatibility within an existing team – regardless of whether they come from the club's own youth programme or are acquired via the transfer market – and thus lays the foundation for a strong team character.

When a player is deployed in the right position, they can make optimal use of their strengths. It is particularly important to take into account the individual natures of the players when putting together the team in order to avoid antipathy and resentment. A harmonious and homogenous team has the best chance of success.

coach analysis

Football coaches have to prove their direct impact on the team and deliver results in every game. Our player analysis helps the coach and staff to recognise the individual strengths of the players – crucial factors that determine victory or defeat on the pitch.

Close collaboration with the head of sports and the trainer is crucial to put the team together optimally and keep the club on the road to success. Our expertise helps to identify the right characters and intelligences of the players and everyone involved from the very first important minute, so that they merge into a winning unit.

Manager & sporting director analysis

Sports directors are responsible for the sporting direction of a football club. With our player and coach analyses, we make a decisive contribution to ensuring sporting success and continuously strengthening the club economically.

Our analyses, which are innovative in the football business and have been tried and tested in the private sector for many years, support sports directors in acquiring the right players, coaches, staff members and scouts. We focus on the key skills of these top performers and managers. This results in a powerful team that achieves sporting success and ensures financial gains for the club through a clever transfer policy.

Career paths in football management

The management level of a football club includes key positions such as sporting director, head coach, technical director, head of profit centre, head of licensing agreements, sports coordinator, head of youth development, team manager, talent coach, head scout, etc. These roles are often taken on by former professional players. In our personality analyses, we check whether the intellectual and professional abilities of a candidate are justified for higher positions and will be profitable for the club.

Our analyses reveal both the strengths and development potential of the managers and evaluate their ability to recognise and promote talent within and outside the club. In this way, we support clubs in making well-founded personnel decisions and ensuring sporting success in the short and long term.

analysis of managers

The quality of the management team and the precise assessment of players, coaches, staff and executives are crucial to the success of a club. Whether on the pitch or behind the scenes in administration – it is the people who make the difference.

Our method, based on in-depth analysis and synthesis, uncovers true talent – be it on the pitch or in management. We help you find the ideal balance in your management and administration by revealing the individual strengths and characters of those involved. This is how we create the basis for a football company that is able to perform convincingly on the pitch while also operating in a financially sound and successful manner.

With our many years of experience and proven psychological assessments, we offer you the security of making the right decisions – for a strong team and efficient administration.

CEO analysis

The CEO of a football club shapes its long-term direction and is responsible for its sporting and economic development. Working closely with the board of directors and the president, the CEO ensures that the club achieves its operational and strategic goals. The CEO plays a key role in developing the club, attracting investors, ensuring a stable financial structure and achieving sporting success.

Our HR expertise supports presidents and CEOs in making well-informed personnel decisions and optimally filling key positions – on the pitch and behind the scenes.

assessments

Football companies benefit from a broad network when it comes to filling administrative and management positions. Numerous internal applications and external interested parties can lead to a flood of applicants. Often, internal employees are promoted to new areas of responsibility without checking in detail whether their qualifications meet the requirements. To relieve the burden on the selection process and avoid costly miscasts, we offer neutral applicant selection and candidate analysis.

With over 30 years of experience in assessments and personnel analyses, we support associations in identifying suitable specialists and managers. Our services include the precise evaluation of individual strengths and potential as well as the successful integration of new team members. Our annual staffing guarantee in a mandate relationship creates additional trust and security.

conflict management

Interpersonal tensions affect team dynamics and weaken the trust between players, coaches and staff. The isolation of individual players divides the team and weakens overall performance. Partisanship and internal friction put a strain on the team and lead to defeats and a drop in the league table. With the help of applied human knowledge, the characters of the individualists are recognised, an objective consensus is created and the team and staff are sustainably strengthened and united – the basis for sporting success.
