« We consider that 50 % of football players are ruined at least 5 years after the end of their career. The unemployment rate in this field would exceed 15 % and 25 % of football players would start the summer season without a contract. »
Between disastrous placements recommended by an unscrupulous and incompetent environment, complicated divorce situations or excessive expenses ignoring taxation or drop in income after their career, lots of football players find themselves trapped.
Unfortunately, some football players or athletes in general, don't or wrongly anticipate the end of their career. That way, they abandon themselves to levels of expense that are not aligned with their income anymore.
However, a lot of them don't get trapped and make sure they adapt their lifestyle. This is a phenomenon that can be explained with personality very often, the familial structure but mostly by people surrounding the athlete and giving him daily advice on potential future dangers.
ALLIANCE SOCCER CONSULTING supports its players during their career but most importantly helps them to foresee the future and the new life that lies ahead for their families and themselves.
To that end, we have established an exclusive partnership with a famous accountant firm based in Paris. That partners will be able to help each of our players in how to invest or manage their income according to their specific requests.
« This is hard to meet a man who's willing to hear an unpleasant truth. »
