Sporting Directors’ Corner | Builders & Burners

Sporting Directors' Corner | Builders & Burners

 

As a Sporting Director, how do you balance player development with player recruitment? Shailash and David discuss this area looking at sporting directors being either "Builders" or "Burners". There is a focus on Ligue 1 side, Rennes and their Sporting Director, Florian Maurice. This is followed by appreciation for the structure now in place at Arsenal with Sporting Director Edu, Manager Mikel Arteta and Academy Manager Per Mertesacker and how the structure is well aligned to enable success. Listen to the conversation and much more.

 

Sporting Directors' Corner aims to look at football in the context of Sporting Directors, to delve deeper into this multi-faceted role and its impact within football across the globe. Keep an eye out for the next episode and let us know any feedback you have in the comments.
