Let's talk Team Value Management

At the Talent Development Summit, we'll be looking at one of the most important drivers of long-term success in football: Team Value Management. It's the strategic approach to maximising the performance and value of a football club by focusing on three key areas: Effective management of existing players, which involves not only retaining talent but also optimising the performance and market value of current players. Integration of Youth Talent, where the development and successful integration of youth players into the first team is a cost-effective way to improve the quality of the team while securing the future of the club. And strategic player trading, which means identifying and investing in players whose value will increase, contributing to the overall financial and competitive strength of the club.

This is the event

We will be addressing essential questions at the “Talent Development Summit” from October 14-16, 2024. Renowned experts from sports and science, from Europe and the USA will provide deep insights and discuss innovative approaches to talent development.
