Conversations with football professionals worldwide.
Interview
A left-back of Romania's golden generation — a World Cup semifinalist and once Europe's best in his position — Tibor Selymes now builds players and academies at FC Politehnica Iași. He joins Football Agent Lab for an exchange on development, discipline, and what he makes of the K League.
Interview
From Las Palmas to Ecuador, India and now Australia, Domingo Oramas has spent twenty years teaching players to read the game. The Spanish methodology coach joins Football Agent Lab for a deep tactical exchange on positional play, "chasing the shadow" — and what his work could bring to the K League.
Interview
In part two, ScoutDecision heads east. Business developer Miguel Gouveia tells Football Agent Lab how the Lisbon-based platform is finding its way into Japanese football — where scouting is often still run on spreadsheets — and why Korea and the wider region are next on its map.
Interview
ScoutDecision began as a Portuguese university project and is now a football-operations platform its team says is used by 180-plus scouts, agents and clubs. In part one of two, business developer Miguel Gouveia tells Football Agent Lab why football's scattered work needs one structured home.
Interview
An "educator through sport," Italian coach Simone Canepa builds people before athletes. From an AC Milan academy in Kuwait to the Juventus Academy in Riyadh, he joins Football Agent Lab for a written exchange on coaching under-tens, brand academies, and the Gulf's fast-rising football scene.
Interview
A rising Namibian coach who leads by serving, Mark Jackson believes structure is what sets a player free. From a street-kids programme to the Celtic FC touchline, he joins Football Agent Lab for a written exchange on possession, the honesty of six defeats, and coaching that aims beyond the game.
Interview
One of the few Korean voices in the series, Ki-hyun Kim reads a match like a text. From German youth academies to a Gwangju FC analysis room, the coach-analyst joins Football Agent Lab for a written exchange on initiative, chaos, and why football's future belongs to interpreters, not providers.
Interview
Twenty years in the dugout, from Polonia Bytom to the Poland side he guided to UEFA Euro 2024. Now between roles, Michał Probierz sits with Football Agent Lab for a written exchange on discipline, freedom, youth development — and a philosophy that always puts the team first.
Interview
Twelve months on from his first FAL conversation, Chilean CONMEBOL Pro-licensed head coach Reinerio Márquez returns to the table. Tumaco International champion. Recently departed from 22 de Julio in Ecuador. And, on the record, aiming his next chapter at South Korea, Asia, or the Arabian Gulf.
Interview
A specialist goalkeeper coach across nine countries — Finland, Estonia, Qatar, South Africa, USA, Malawi, Senegal, the Netherlands. Currently Finland's national team goalkeeper coach. Recent Feyenoord chapter closed. Awaiting a new club. And, in his own words, a hope to come to Korea one day.
Interview
An Egyptian football performance analyst working in the UAE Pro League, who arrived at the profession through chemistry, geology, and a regional environmental safety career. Sameh Abdelghany on what football analysts actually do — and why translation, not data volume, is the discipline.
Interview
Spanish UEFA Pro coach. Five countries, three continents. The 2018 K League FA Cup, the 2025/26 Maldives double. Real Madrid Foundation and Barça Academy past. Two books. And — on the record — the wish to return to South Korea as a head coach.
