Football Intermediary Mentoring
TAKE YOUR FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT SKILLS TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Since its inception, 451 FC has conducted business across the spectrum of the football business worldwide – the roles, responsibilities and opportunities allocated to the modern intermediary are vast and 451 has covered all of the bases throughout the years.
From personally representing a large roster of players to providing invaluable mediation and consultation to several parties in order make deals happen that otherwise would have not.
From helping a player find a new car to securing them sponsorship from a multi-national corporation. From negotiating a new player contract with a club chairman to assisting in the sale of a whole club itself. Perfecting these essential services, and everything in between, has been the agenda of 451 FC since its doors were opened.

“There is an unbelievable opportunity here for people to be involved in the sport that they love, and we want to help those people achieve their dreams”
– JOHN VIOLA –
Why are we providing training?
At the time when John Viola had been in the industry for a few years there were around 700 agents working in the UK, in recent years that figure has risen to over 7,000.
The landscape has become extremely saturated, causing those new to the industry and lacking the correct knowledge and expertise to struggle in making their mark.
451 FC identified this need for education in the market and decided to share their experience in a way that the majority of established agencies are unwilling to. All with the intention to provide a committed, personal service that properly equips potential intermediaries with all of the tools they need to succeed, whilst also building new relationships and growing the network of 451 itself.
It is with this strategy in mind that the mentoring programme was devised.
Apply TodayHow does it work?
Our programme is designed to personally suit each mentee and their potential future in the industry. Accordingly the following questions need to be asked;
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACHIEVE IN THE INDUSTRY?
WHAT STAGE ARE YOU AT?
HOW COMMITTED ARE YOU?
Our programme is delivered in a 3 tier fashion
TIER ONE
A loose, casual and flexible but advanced learning experience based on pre booked face to face meetings, Skype or telephone sessions at a time suiting both parties over a 3 month
TIER TWO
A more detailed and structured service delivered over the space of 6 months. Set out as 30 hours of contact as a mixture of telephone/Skype calls and face to face sessions.
TIER THREE
The elite tier of the programme reserved for those with the determination and desire to be fast-tracked into a career as an intermediary. Delivered over the period of one year.
Expanded and committed package of contact via Skype, telephone and face to face mentoring. Including committed building of a relationship and creation of plan, strategy and goals for establishment in the industry.
The value of the mentoring programme comes from gaining access to 451 Football Consultancy’s unique IP in the industry combined with the benefits of being linked to an established and well known organisation in the world of football.
The ultimate goal is to share this value whilst at the same time growing 451 FC’s influence and network within the industry by bringing mentees into the industry in association to create new business together that wouldn’t have been available before.
