Approach & Philosophy
Public remarks around agency work from Alexander Manyakov emphasize guiding player decision-making beyond headline numbers and aligning moves with development, playing time, and long-term career stability.
The current portfolio suggests a pathway-heavy model: strong representation of U21 and second-tier players, frequent use of loans, and step-by-step progression into stable first-tier contracts.
Fees & Transparency
Typical football-agent compensation is governed by FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) where applicable (service fee caps differ by client type and competition context, and dual representation is restricted and must be disclosed/consented).
Best practice: written representation agreement, clear scope of mandate, itemised expenses policy, and explicit handling of any image-rights or third-party commercial work.
Compliance & Reputation
Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No publicly verified sanctions found in the sources used for this review.
Litigation / disputes: No publicly verified litigation found in the sources used for this review.
Media sentiment: Neutral to positive – coverage is largely informational (agency commentary and player-career discussions), without prominent negative investigative reporting identified.
Awards/recognition
No specific awards or formal industry recognitions could be verified from publicly available sources during this review.
