  • Die Rückkehr Der Genfer Talente
    Die Rückkehr der Genfer Talente Denis Zakaria zu Beginn seiner Karriere im Trikot von Servette. (Bild: Laurent Gillieron / Keystone) Mit Moubandje, Zakaria und Mbabu stehen nach langer Zeit wieder Fussballer aus der Servette-Schule im Schweizer Nationalteam. Servettes Krise in den letzten Jahren verhinderte dies. Eine Reise in die Genfer Fussballregion. Michele Coviello, Nicola Berger (Text), Haluka Maier-Borst (Datenanalyse), Balz Rittmeyer (Grafik) 10.10.2018 Er war noch keine 18 Jahre alt, und schon überwies Newcastle United 1,5 Millionen Franken für ihn an Servette. Heute ist Kevin Mbabu das Siebenfache wert. Und wenn demnächst ein Transfer des inzwischen 23-Jährigen von den Young Boys ins Ausland stattfinden wird, dann würde eine weitaus höhere Summe niemanden erstaunen. Mbabu ist derzeit einer der begehrtesten Schweizer Fussballer. Seine Auftritte in der Champions League und im Schweizer Nationalteam zeugen vom Potenzial des vom Stürmer zum wilden, das rechte Couloir hinauf und hinunter sprintenden Aussenverteidiger umfunktionierten Ausnahmekönners. Es wird das zweite Mal nach Denis Zakaria sein, dass YB mit einem Genfer Talent Millionen verdient, während für Servette Krümel übrig bleiben. Kevin Mbabu ist der letzte Genfer, der zum Nationalteam gestossen ist, vor ihm debütierten unter Vladimir Petkovic 2014 François Moubandje und 2016 Denis Zakaria. Dies kann kein Zufall sein. Gerade Zakaria und Mbabu könnten in der unmittelbaren Zukunft Teil des Gesichts des Nationalteams werden. Nach dem Länderspiel gegen Island von Anfang September twitterte die Website «Football Talent Scout» über Zakaria: «Monströse Leistung. Gegenwart und Zukunft des Schweizer Fussballs.» Zakaria scheint als Nachfolger des abgetretenen Valon Behrami designiert, Mbabu dürfte bald den Stab vom alternden Stephan Lichtsteiner übernehmen.

  • Football Agents in the Biggest Five European Football Markets an Empirical Research Report
    FOOTBALL AGENTS IN THE BIGGEST FIVE EUROPEAN FOOTBALL MARKETS AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH REPORT FEBRUARY 2012 Raffaele Poli, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Giambattista Rossi, João Havelange Scholarship, Birkbeck University (London) With the collaboration of Roger Besson, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Football agent portrayed by the Ivorian woodcarver Bienwélé Coulibaly Executive summary While intermediaries acting in the transfers of footballers have existed since almost the birth of the professional game, the profession of agent was not officially recognised until 1991 when FIFA established the first official licensing system. In November 2011, there were 6,082 licensed agents worldwide: 41% of them were domiciled within countries hosting the big five European leagues: England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France. This research project firstly investigates shares in the representation market of players in the five major European championships. By presenting the results of a survey questionnaire, it analyses the socio-demographic profile of licensed football agents in the above mentioned countries, the business structure of their activity, the different kinds of services provided, and the way in which they are performed from a relational point of view (network approach). The analysis of shares highlights that the big five league players’ representation market is highly concentrated: half of the footballers are managed by 83 football agents or agencies. Our study reveals the existence of closed relational networks that clearly favors the concentration of players under the control of few agents. Footballers are not equally distributed between intermediaries. Conversely, dominant actors exist alongside dominated agents. One fifth of the agents having answered to our questionnaire manage the career of half of the players represented on the whole.
