Agent of Change (Featuring women's football agent, Giulio Tedeschi)

In this episode, we sit down with Giulio Tedeschi, founder and CEO of Tedeschi & Partners, a pioneering agency dedicated to representing women football/soccer players. While the world of football agency has historically focused on the men’s game, Giulio and his team have been advocating for female talent for nearly 12 years, pushing for fairer contracts, family planning rights, better visibility for players and early focus on post-retirement opportunities. Giulio is a co-founder of the Italian Association of Football Agents and its Women's Football Delegate. In 2021, he wrote Inside the World of a Football Agent, critically analysing international regulations governing the industry. Now with five international offices, 15 employees and over 160 women footballers on his books, Giulio chats with Val, Dave and Steve about the changing landscape of player compensation and representation now that women’s football is starting to become big business on a global scale. The WFF Podcast team also discuss what San Diego Wave can do with the $1.1 million Naomi Girma transfer fee within the NWSL's strict cost control rules. And Steve and Dave agree to accompany Val on foot and by canoe on her quest to adopt the right NWSL team. For more information about Tedeschi & Partners: visit https://www.tedeschiepartners.soccer/Be sure to like and subscribe to our show!
