Louis Saha to Set Up New Sports Consultancy

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha and former 1.FC Köln defender Dieter Prestin have launched a new sports consultancy named AXIS 10 Sports Consulting Group.

The company’s mission is to play a central role in helping professional football players gain access to a wide range of high quality products and services. 

The French ex-international, who retired last year after a 16 years long career at clubs such as Fulham, Manchester United and Everton, commented: “I’m very proud to be part of this amazing project. I just finished my football career but straight away felt a strong desire to use my vast experience to help young players to learn faster and not make the same mistakes lots of players typically make.

“While many retired footballers get their coaching degrees, I decided to wait a few more years and today I’m very proud to have contributed to the creation of AXIS 10 Sports Consulting Group. This all started two years ago when this idea began to take shape in my head, while writing my book ‘Thinking inside the box’. ”

Dieter Prestin, who, after leaving the field, has become one of the most recommended providers for sports insurances in the German Bundesliga, including the most prestigious clubs, commented: ”When I met Louis for the first time we immediately agreed that it was the right time to provide the football industry with a consulting company that is able to deliver high quality services for the whole of Europe.

“We have been able to take on board multi-cultural, multi-lingual, extremely committed and qualified people. All our services will be based on five key principles: openness, integrity, respect, transparency and responsibility.”
