Yousuf Sajjad, started his career as a volunteer scout at Brentford. He then went on to work for Chelsea and Arsenal, scouting players like Jude Bellingham & Florian Wirtz 🤩
Last year, Dutch club FC Den Bosch approached Yousuf to become their new Technical Director. This made him the youngest Technical Director in Europe 🤯
We met with Yousuf to learn about what goes on behind the scenes at elite football clubs, and what it’s like running a club as a technical director 🤝

When I was coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach U10 and U11, my team played against Cologne. It was the age group 2003. So we often played against Florian Wirtz. Always when we were in front, he at the end decided the game for Cologne. They had a strong team at that time. Interestingly at that time Florian Wirtz was the tallest player of all. Now that he is having such a great career is great. I still remember him as a small little boy. 😊🎉

No disrespect to Yousuf, but this didn't really offer much insight. It was all very surface level stuff with anecdotes I'd expect from any scout. He clearly has an interesting story, but it didn't shine through for me here. Appreciate the effort regardless.

Nobody wants to see marquee talent like Wirtz, Jude, Foden, Musiala at a club like Arsenal. Stick to Martinelli Trossard and Saka type brutes.

@@makingmiracleshappen Arsenal just isn't an interesting or a big club. Stay in their lane for the best. Rice, Havertz, Trossard, Raya esque business. Not cool players like Bellingham, Leao, Doue, Sesko. Would be career enders for them. I like Amadou Onana to Arsenal in the summer. A striker like Vlahovic or Toney as well. Perfect.

But look at the shit level of players come through, these academies are very robotic,like most players This guy got successfully away from ball,who has he signed or seen who is significant 🤔 there was loads of good talent in league 1 when I played
