ISC Expands International Football Division
International Sports Consulting is proud to announce the expansion of its International Football Division.
Founded in 2009, ISC's football division now works with over 40 professional footballers, including players in the Premier League, EFL Championship, Bundesliga, MLS, Ligue 1, and many more leagues around the world. The company also manages over 50 professional rugby players including 15 current internationals, as well as Olympians and Paralympians who will be competing at the Tokyo Olympics next month.
The expansion, which will increase the scope and goals of ISC’s football operations, will be overseen by Malle Koido, ISC’s new Client Director for International Football. Malle has over a decade of experience in the football industry, having previously worked with Leicester City, Loughborough University and the Nike Academy.
“I couldn’t be more pleased joining ISC and looking after the International Football Division. Nick Robinson and I first met when I started as an agent, and it was immediately obvious that we had a similar approach to football business, but more importantly the same values. Culture is key at ISC to offer a high-quality, consistent experience to our clients. ISC’s vision of what a well-ran international football agency looks like matched with my vision, so it was an obvious choice to join forces.”
“We are now operating in 20+ countries, but what’s really important for us is our team’s detailed knowledge and understanding of each of these leagues, not just from a football point of view, but also the culture and language. We don’t strive for high volume, but the right quality and fit when it comes to placing our clients. Between Nick and myself, we have experience in working in many countries and in a number of languages, but the quality of the rest of the team, and their impressive individual knowledge of world football is something I’ve always wanted to bring to an agency environment.”

Malle is joined by a number of talented individuals – Georg Bikritski, Jake Stratton-Morris, Paul Cox, Johannes Regier, Maren Thomisch and Yugansh Arawal, with a focus on different territories throughout the world. This team will form an integral part of the football division as it goes through this exciting new chapter.
“We're very excited to expand our team and increase our capability to provide players with even more playing opportunities across the football world. Bringing in Malle to help spearhead this growth is a natural fit both in terms of culture and ambition, and she has already demonstrated this by adding and training some talented members to our team.”
“With our growing client list of players across different continents, having people who have been trained in ISC's way of working allows us to manage the players in the most optimal way possible, allowing them to focus almost exclusively on their football. Our culture is what has allowed us to punch above our weight for many years and forms part of our platform for success.”
