H.S.P. Sports-Management is a small German representation outfit built around a compact client roster, with Bundesliga-level representation at the top end. The agency is listed with a two-person staff team (Thorsten Haas and Gianluca Busato) and focuses primarily on German domestic pathways (Bundesliga down to regional levels). A key differentiator is Haas’s long-standing background in coaching and scouting roles in German football, which feeds into a pragmatic, club-facing approach to career moves.

H.S.P. Sports-Management looks like a classic boutique model: a small team, tight roster, and a pragmatic focus on club relationships inside Germany. With a founder whose background includes coaching and scouting roles, the agency’s value proposition appears to lean toward fit-first moves (minutes, role clarity, league suitability) rather than volume brokering.
FFAR defines service fee caps by client type and remuneration bands, while national implementation can vary. In Germany, the DFB’s 2025 national framework references that some FFAR provisions were not implemented domestically due to legal constraints at federation level, so practical application can depend on the transaction and jurisdiction. No agency-specific commission ranges or expense policies are publicly disclosed.
Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No public sanctions identified in accessible sources.
Litigation / disputes: No public litigation identified in accessible sources; note Germany’s federation-level FFAR constraints.
Media sentiment: Neutral – limited direct press on the agency; visibility primarily through databases and references.
No major awards or formal industry recognition found in public sources.
