Hi, I'm Stefan.
I grew up in the sports and entertainment business.
My dad was 2x Basketball Coach of the Year in Belgium but also the organizer of world-class events in Antwerp such as the European Community Championship tennis tournament and the Diamond Awards music festival.
My focus however is on football.
Since 2008 I've been doing deals and assisting clubs, players, coaches and sports directors.
I am based in Antwerp, Belgium but active worldwide because of my network and the relationships I've built over the years.
I've had the pleasure to assist big names in football such as Eidur Gudjohnsen & Eiji Kawashima and negotiate with clubs like Zenit St. Petersburg, Club Brugge, Juventus FC, Lokomotiv Moscow, Sunderland, AS Monaco,... and agents like Alain Migliaccio (Zinédine Zidane).
I've also acted as an intermediary for big investment funds, amongst which IVEAGH (the Guinness-family).
In 2013 a club in the highest division in Belgium offered me the position of C.E.O. which I refused.
In 2015 I was offered the position of Visiting Professor of Football at a Belgian university which I refused.
I like to connect people and opportunities which is why I work as a dealmaker.
Thanks to my network, background, experience and reputation I can reach any decision-maker worldwide within 2 phone-calls maximum.
The largest deal I negotiated single-handedly for a client was in 2013 after a 9 month negotiation: €15M (in salary - 5y contract).
I have an exclusive partnership with an agency in New York to bring clients to the Major League Soccer (MLS).
Yours sincerely,
Stefan
