About Gordon Stipic-Wipfler
Gordon Stipic-Wipfler is a licensed football intermediary and senior executive within Unique Sports Group, one of Europe’s larger talent management agencies by roster scale. He is publicly listed by USG as a Director and is commonly described as part of the agency’s top leadership. Before USG’s formation, he built long-term experience through ISMG (International Sports Management), where he is cited as Managing Partner from the early 2000s. USG later emerged from the combination of established representation businesses to create a multi-office platform spanning key European markets.
In public reporting and social posts, Stipic-Wipfler is frequently referenced around elite-client contract decisions and high-pressure transfer windows, including media linking him directly to Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Malick Thiaw or Alexis Saelemaekers as the player’s agent during speculation cycles. His public messaging tends to emphasize long-term planning themes such as stability, performance and clarity, aligning with an executive-agent profile involved in both negotiations and broader player career management. Because USG operates with multiple licensed staff and a large client base, attribution of every transfer to one specific agent is not always public.
