What is a Director of Football?

What is a Director of Football?

Across the modern footballing landscape in Europe, it is now rare to find a successful or efficiently-performing club which is not under the guidance of a sporting director. It’s becoming increasingly clear that a position which was once viewed with suspicion is, by virtue of its specialisation, becoming fundamental to competing across modern football’s growing battlefields.

Tifo loves football. We know there’s an appetite for thoughtful, intelligent content, for stuff that makes the complicated simple.

Our illustrated and live action YouTube videos address all aspects of the game, including tactics, history, and the business of football.

Our podcasts interview some of the game’s leading figures. And our editorial covers football with depth and insight.

Tifo Football used to be uMAXit Football – we changed our name in November 2017 to better articulate who we are and what matters to us: making football accessible to its fans through story-telling and the expertise and insight of our team of writers and producers.

Tifo was nominated by the Football Supporters’ Federation for the ‘Best Online Media’ Award in 2017 and 2018.

We also make bespoke videos.

What is a DOF


Something Man United desperately needs. Instead they have Woodward.

:(

[memememe]

Hey I know its off topic, but I fell in love with this channel and wanted to ask if you could make a video on my favourite club, Schalke 04. In 17/18 we exceeded expectations and finished 2nd. In 18/19 everything went downhill, we had to fight relegation and finished 14th. A sensible transfers video or a tactical analysis why our offense is so terrible despite having good players would be awesome!!

[loganmark]

Every time I don't watch these videos for a few weeks and come back, I am consistently blown away. One of the greatest football and overall channels on youtube. Don't know how tifo isn't wildly popular and how it's free. Keep up the amazing work!!!

[lokchucklindryfry]

This is so well summarised!

As a man utd fan, i'm fuming right now!!!!

[naturallogarithm]

This video seems like a personal attack on Man United 😂

[IONS-LEGACY]

Send this to Abdullah from full-time devils. He goes on about DoF but was clueless when asked what the position is about.

[thewalkingpotofjam]

these videos are absolutely class... consistently well researched, well produced and clear and easy to understand while still containing a lot of information. easily the best independent football channel going 👏

Where my Football Manager players at getting triggered at Directors of Football?

[EseAgboaye]

I like that the illustration of the manager sort of resembles John Motson.

[schamsed]

I don't watch tifo anymore (busy, work, gym, fifa) but i always click & like. During my commute sometimes i'll watch some videos. As always; brilliant content.

[drthvdr]

It brought me much pleasure when you were talking about Dortmund's success and excellent youth, I was crushing them 4-0 in the Revier Derby as Schalke in Football Manager.

[jmfive]

Brilliantly written, tifo never disappoints. The varied choice for video topics helps a lot ; instead of repeated tactical profiles of top clubs after every managerial change.

There's very few places where one can get such concise and precise information on the stuff revolving around football and not just about tactics and formations.

Also the examples taken for explanation of the topic are quite good and well thought of before selecting them as examples.

Ed Woodward needs to watch your videos.

[Jiroghenee]

Please do a video on Frank Lampard tactical and recruitment approach needed as Chelsea's new manager

[percyjackson]

Please do a video on football analytics departments in clubs regarding recruitment/tactics and the people working in this realm and their qualifications. Seems to be a growing and interesting part of all sports with growing job outlook.

[mduduzimohlala]

Can't stress how incredible this channel is, keep the content going guys.

[wellnowweretalking]

Now that you mention Zorc and BVB, there should be (if there isn't already) a video about the importance of scouting. Dortmund are masters of doing it right.

[lordj]

Seriously 😒 after Sir Alex Ferguson left United’s transfers and playing style have been all over the place. They really have no direction.
