MORE THAN FOOTBALL

My mission is your success. I want to ensure that you perform at your best within the lines by providing you with the best possible advice outside the lines.

It’s my job to make sure you don’t have to worry about the questions that arise in connection with club transfers, relocation, etc.

Instead, your energy should be spent on giving your maximum performance on the field to achieve the best possible results.

You should expect more from your football agent than just being able to secure your next contract. Your next contract will give rise to a number of legal questions, which your agent is best suited to navigate and advise on. Therefore, you should choose an agent who has an overview and is accustomed to providing advice at a high level.

It’s also important that your agent can act on questions before they arise, rather than only addressing them when a challenge has emerged. I place great emphasis on an in-depth knowledge of the rules within the football industry and have therefore taken the football agent exam. This is your guarantee that your agent has a thorough understanding of FIFA’s rules for the agent’s work with players.

Below, you can read more about what I can help you with.

Education

I teach the curriculum for FIFA’s agent exam, which is necessary to become a licensed football agent. The curriculum will be reviewed shortly before the exam, highlighting the most important focus points and rules.

Career Planning

To ensure a valuable collaboration, I will initially discuss with you what your goals are for your career.

The first part of career planning aims to ensure that future contract negotiations with current or new clubs are based on your goals. At the same time, career planning aims to create an overview of your sub-goals. In this way, we ensure that you have an overview of when you should take the next step in your career, and what it takes before this step can be taken. The second part of career planning aims to focus on your career after football. By planning life after football well in advance, the transition will be as smooth as possible. Part of the planning will also involve the need for education, setting up a sports pension, and other investments, as well as your wishes for future work.

Club Transfers and Contract Negotiation

Based on your career plan, I can help you achieve the best outcome in your next contract negotiation. Through ongoing courses in negotiation techniques, I will negotiate with your new or current club about your next contract.

I have an in-depth knowledge of DBU’s standard player contract, and I will be able to advise you on, among other things, the following terms:

Your rights and obligations in connection with games and training Your obligations regarding gambling (match-fixing) Your rights and obligations regarding the choice of equipment and personal advertising agreements, including the requirements that personal sponsorship agreements must meet Your rights regarding insurance Your rights in relation to remuneration, including advice on basic salary, bonus schemes, other benefits (free car, free apartment, etc.), and sports pension and sports savings Your rights to vacation.

I can also help you to find your next club via my international network of football clubs and other agents.

Tax and Finance

When your private circumstances change, this will often have implications for your tax situation. This can be in relation to a new contract with the remuneration and other benefits that come with it. In particular, your tax situation will change if you move to or from Denmark. These international tax matters require the most optimal tax planning, and it is therefore important that your agent can help with these questions and anticipate the issues well in advance.

Together with skilled experts in tax and wealth optimization, I will assist you in planning your finances as best as possible so that together we ensure the best financial solution for you when your circumstances change.

This can include the following areas:

Tax liability in Denmark or abroad Tax on investments Specific tax rules abroad Tax when moving to or from Denmark Sports pension General investment advice.
