5 best sporting directors in world football right now September 2022
By Varun Pai Modified 25 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share 5 best sporting directors in world football right now September 2022 Over the last two decades, football has witnessed a marked change in the way players are bought and sold. Basic release clauses and negotiations are still part of the transfer market, but the people driving the decision behind signing players have indeed changed. Gone are the days of club owners and managers scouting for the next big talent on the market. Sporting directors are now in charge of spotting young talents and established players, developing transfer policies and negotiating the best deals for their clubs. This has led to several clubs having better succession plans and ensuring continuity of success over a long period of time. On that note, let's take a look at the 5 best sporting directors in world football right now September 2022 .#5 Mateu Alemany- Barcelona
FC Barcelona Unveil New Signing Robert Lewandowski Mateu Alemany arguably won the 2022 football summer transfer window following Barcelona's incredible business in the market. The Spaniard joined Barcelona as sporting director in March 2021 and has shaped their transfer policy ever since. Prior to this, Alemany was the President of RCD Mallorca before managing Valencia CF between March 2017- November 2019. Hence, he has an astute understanding of signing players within a budget, something Barcelona needed this summer, given their financial troubles. Although the Spanish football club splurged the cash, they bought the right players and Alemany was key in convincing the players to move to the club and negotiating their transfer fees. From taking Raphinha & Jules Kounde away from Chelsea's grasp to also luring Robert Lewandowski to the Nou Camp, Alemany hit all the right notes. It is also worth noting that Barcelona signed Christensen and Franck Kessie on free transfers, while also re-signing Ousmane Dembele on improved terms. These were quite the coups, given their potential & age profile. Xavi now has an incredible squad to work with and Alemany deserves a lot of praise for the same.#4 Christoph Freund- RB Salzburg

The Austrian joined RB Salzburg in 2005 and was part of the coaching staff. He was eventually promoted to becoming the sports co-ordinator in 2012 before becoming their sporting director in 2015. Since then, he has been key in spotting the best young talents in world football for the club, including players like Sadio Mane, Naby Keita, Erling Haaland & many more.
