Player representation
PODBALL provides through its networking a holistic range of 360° services, tailored to the needs of each athlete. We constantly strive to provide services, ensuring that all areas of a player’s career both “on” and “off” the field are managed professionally and with the highest levels of care and attention to detail.
After more than 10 years abroad, Christos managed to build relationships with players’ representatives and teams in both Germany and Austria through his stints at clubs such as RB Leipzig, FC Liefering (a subsidiary of RB Salzburg) SV Eintracht Trier, and FC Energie Cottbus.
Thus PODBALL will act as a bridge from Greece to these countries where professionalism is the key. We work with reliable player representatives in these countries, ensuring you the best representation and the best opportunities abroad.
Why do we focus on Austria?
Less competition: compared to top leagues such as the Premier League or the Bundesliga, competition in Austrian leagues can be considered less intense. This allows players to get regular playing time, which is vital for their development.
Scouting and promotion: Scouts from bigger leagues often watch players in various leagues across Europe. Good performances in Austrian leagues can attract the attention of scouts, increasing the chances of a move to a more prominent league. It is also worth noting that in addition to the TV coverage of the matches, there is also a live webcast of the third division games.
Stepping stone: Austrian leagues can serve as a springboard for players who want to prove their worth in European football. Success in the Austrian leagues can boost a player’s confidence and market value, making it easier for him to secure a move to a more competitive league.
Cultural adaptation: Moving to a new country and league can be a significant challenge. Austrian leagues provide players with the opportunity to adapt to European football and the European way of life before moving to leagues in larger football countries.
Financial considerations: While wages in Austrian leagues may not be as high as those in the top European leagues, they can provide a decent income, especially for younger or less established players. Financial stability is a crucial factor for many players and their families.
Quality of life: Austria is known for its high quality of life. Players may choose to play there because of the attractive living conditions, excellent infrastructure and overall good quality of life for themselves and their families.
Club ambition: Some Austrian clubs participate in European competitions such as the UEFA Conference League, UEFA Europa League or the Champions League. Players may be attracted by clubs with ambitious plans to compete at continental level, giving them exposure to a wider audience and more significant challenges.
