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. 😊🎉

What were the reasons for him wanting to leave koln? He would’ve gotten first team minutes there quickly.

@@nathanbarnes9373 To be honest, I don’t know. But definitely Cologne was not very smart. 😂 Look at what he already achieved. And actually they put all the work into him. So they actually deserve the praise for developing him. But then they don’t kept him. Not very smart. 🤦‍♂️

Yh cuz these guys ain't from football but know ppl..its all money chasing, these guys make alot of money ..n u hear them say they wasn't very good at ball n quit lol n it's a issue if ur wanting to play for love or for money..this guys why we have alot of shit players being picked n really good street players are left behind..I played league 1 n loved it,money was OK but I love ball,not the money..as a 40 Yr old I see a massive change

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.
