Dr. Erkut Sogut - Beyond the Sidelines: The Rise of Players, Agents, and Globalization in Football

November 12, 2024 • Gemini • Episode 39

Erkut Sogut holds a doctorate in sports law, and has more than 20 years experience in the football (soccer) agency business. Erkut is the founder of GROW, a player representation agency, and the creator of five important industry newsletters - one released on each day of the working week. His book "How to Become a Football Agent" is now in its third edition.

In this episode, Jake and Erkut discuss the shift of power from clubs to players, the globalization of sports, why recruitment can be totally arbitrary, and the (sometimes unfortunate) increase in multi-club ownership.
