About

The bridge between football and data

I have worked across the pathway – with academy players of all ages to the senior team – as a coach, head coach and analyst. That on‑pitch experience is combined with an academic background: a Master's in Computer Science focused on data science, AI and model interpretability.

In many clubs, data exists but the real challenge is making sense of it. My strength lies in storytelling with data: connecting what we see in the numbers and on the video with what players and staff feel on the grass. I prioritise clarity, context and communication so that insights are actually used.

Soft skills are central to my work: clear communication, leadership and man‑management. I am equally comfortable in the analyst room, on the training pitch or presenting to technical staff and boards.

Approach

How we work together

My goal is always the same: connect your reality on the pitch with the right use of data, in a language your staff and players trust.

01

Understand your context

We start with your environment: level, resources, game model, staff, current data and workflows. This ensures that any ideas fit your reality, not an abstract ideal.

02

Analyse & interpret

I combine data, video and qualitative information to identify key questions and patterns. The focus is on interpretability and relevance, not just complexity.

03

Translate into football decisions

Insights are turned into clear actions: changes in training, tactical adjustments, recruitment decisions, or individual development plans – all explained in football language.

04

Support implementation

I stay involved to help you apply and refine the work, whether that means being on the pitch, in the analysis room or in online meetings with staff.

Who I work with

From grassroots to professional environments

I work with organisations of all levels, adapting the depth and tools to your budget, staffing and competition level.

Professional clubs
Semi‑professional & ambitious amateur clubs
Youth academies
National associations
Player agencies & recruitment teams
Individual players

I am based in Europe and willing to travel worldwide for in‑person work, with ongoing support available remotely.

Contact me for a tailored proposal

Because every club, environment and project is different, I do not publish fixed packages or prices. Instead, we design a collaboration that matches your needs and resources.

In your message, it helps if you can briefly describe your club or role, your current situation and what you would like help with – for example:

  • Improving the way you use existing data and video
  • Starting from scratch with data collection and analysis
  • Support for a specific competition, phase or project
  • Individual support for one or more players

I aim to respond to all serious enquiries as soon as possible.
