Kevin-Prince Boateng’s New Chapter: Guiding Young Players as an Agent
Former Ghana star Kevin-Prince Boateng has had a storied career, playing for top clubs like AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham Hotspur, Hertha BSC, and the Black Stars. Now, in his post-playing days, Boateng is channeling his passion and experience into a new venture: his own agency, Rookie & Champ.
Reflecting on his transition, Boateng shared a chuckle at being called a top player, but quickly turned the conversation to his newfound purpose.
“When I was still playing for Hertha, I was thinking – what am I gonna do later on?” he revealed.
Initially considering a coaching career, Boateng realized that patience wasn’t his strong suit. However, his desire to make a meaningful impact on the sport remained.
Boateng’s experiences as a player, including dealing with various agents, some good and some bad, have given him valuable insight. He now aims to use this knowledge to help young players navigate the complexities of professional football.
“I wanna assist young players because I’ve had a lot of experience in my career,” he explained. “I had a lot of agents – some good, some bad – and I know how it can be. If you have the wrong advice, it can be really, really tough.”
With Rookie & Champ, Boateng is on a mission to provide guidance and support to the next generation of footballers.
“I just said I would love to help young players, get them on the right path, show them what counts, and keep them humble as much as possible,” he emphasized.
The agency is built on Boateng’s firsthand understanding of what it takes to succeed in the sport.
As Kevin-Prince Boateng embarks on this new chapter, his dedication to helping young players is clear.
With his agency, Rookie & Champ, he is poised to make a positive impact on the football world, using his experience and expertise to guide the next generation of stars.
