Barák joins P&P Sport Management – “Welcome Tony”
Federico Pastorello has announced a new high-profile Czech addition to his Monaco-based agency P&P Sport Management.
In a festive Instagram post, Pastorello wrote: “A nice gift under the Christmas tree for @ppsportmanagement 🇲🇨!! @antoninbarak 🇨🇿 joins our family signing a 2 years exclusive mandate with us!!! Welcome Tony 💪🏻❤️” The message confirms that Antonín Barák has signed an exclusive, two-year representation mandate with P&P, strengthening the agency’s footprint in the Czech market while adding an experienced, versatile attacking midfielder to its roster.
P&P Sport Management is widely known as an international operation led by Pastorello, with multi-country coverage and long-standing relationships across European football.
Where Barák is now and why the timing matters
Barák, born 03.12.1994, remains one of the most recognisable Czech midfielders of his generation, combining size, technique and a goal threat from advanced positions.
He is currently at UC Sampdoria on loan from ACF Fiorentina, and the agency move comes at a moment when his next steps are especially relevant. After years in Serie A and more recent loan moves, the priority is clear: consistent football, a defined role, and the right platform to relaunch momentum.
For an agency like P&P, that is exactly the kind of situation where its international network, club relationships and negotiating experience can become a decisive advantage.
Barák’s career snapshot – from Slavia to Serie A
Barák’s rise began in Czech football before he made his mark abroad. He broke through at 1. FK Příbram, then took a significant step by joining Slavia Prague, where his performances accelerated his profile and helped open the door to Italy.
In Serie A, he built a reputation as a modern attacking midfielder – capable of playing as a No. 10, an advanced No. 8, or arriving late into the box. His time across Udinese and Hellas Verona showcased his ability to contribute goals and physical presence, while Fiorentina brought European exposure and the demands of competing for trophies.
Why P&P Sport Management is a major landing spot
P&P Sport Management is positioned as a Monaco-based agency with an international footprint and a track record in top-level football representation. For players navigating cross-border moves, loan structures, and career planning in competitive leagues, that kind of infrastructure matters.
Federico Pastorello was nominated for Globe Soccer’s 2025 Best Agent award, and he won the award in 2021.
For Barák, the fit is straightforward: he joins an agency built for international pathways, at a time when decisive career management can shape the next two seasons.
