Approach & Philosophy

AMS frames itself as a high-touch career management agency that balances sporting performance goals with personal and off-pitch stability. The published service mix suggests a full career model: representation for contracts and transfers alongside legal, image-rights, and longer-term financial planning.

Fees & Transparency

• Exact client commission terms are private and vary by transaction and jurisdiction.

• FIFA’s agent framework introduced licensing, representation agreement standards, and fee-cap concepts, but certain fee-cap and payment mechanics have been temporarily suspended globally due to legal challenges, with national rules applying in the meantime.

• In England, The FA Football Agent Regulations govern domestic transactions.

• Minors are subject to stricter rules and additional safeguards/authorisations.

Compliance & Reputation

• Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No public listing found for Michaël N’Cho in The FA’s published sanctions list (as of late 2025).

• Litigation / disputes: No widely reported litigation found in accessible public sources tied directly to AMS Talent Consulting.

• Media sentiment: Neutral to positive – coverage is primarily factual transfer and career reporting around clients.

Awards/recognition

• No formal awards publicly disclosed; recognition is primarily reflected through association with top-level clients and academy-network visibility.
