About

projectFIVE is SPORTFIVE’s dedicated management unit focused on tailored career counselling for coaches, athletes and sports personalities, combining representation with longer-term career planning and “transition & legacy” support. The project was launched with Marc Kosicke (known in the market as Jürgen Klopp’s long-time advisor) and operates inside SPORTFIVE’s wider international platform. Alongside coach representation, projectFIVE also runs a smaller player roster that includes both senior professionals and youth prospects.

Approach & Philosophy

projectFIVE positions itself as a tailored and holistic management service: advising across sporting decisions (club fit, role clarity, long-term pathway) and off-pitch outcomes (media, positioning, transition planning). Being embedded in SPORTFIVE also signals a model that combines traditional representation with broader commercial and communications support when relevant.

Fees & Transparency

• Typical market practice: agent service fees are negotiable and depend on mandate scope and local rules; projectFIVE does not publish a public fee card.

• FIFA FFAR framework (global reference point): service-fee caps and restrictions apply depending on role and jurisdiction.

• Jurisdiction reality: some associations acknowledge temporary suspensions of certain provisions depending on ongoing legal context.

Compliance & Reputation

• Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No public disciplinary sanctions identified in reviewed sources (as of Feb 2026).

• Litigation / disputes: No prominent public disputes located in reviewed sources (as of Feb 2026).

• Media sentiment: Positive / neutral – coverage mainly frames projectFIVE as a SPORTFIVE-backed, coach-focused advisory platform; recent reporting around Jonas Boldt joining is broadly positive.

Awards/recognition

• No specific awards publicly listed for projectFIVE as a unit.
