A recent FIFA exam has been introduced to improve the knowledge and professionalism of football agents. Dean Eldredge, who represents coaches and managers, views this as a positive step despite some criticisms. The exam, which significantly reduced the number of licensed agents, focuses on the international transfer system rather than personal player care. Industry figures such as Jimmy O’Connor and Aaron Wilbraham emphasize the importance of good agents in managing players’ careers and facilitating their success on and off the pitch.
