X-TOUCH Sports, a next-generation football management agency bridging Africa and Europe, has successfully concluded its flagship Coach Residency Programme in partnership with German club SV 19 Straelen under the mentorship of advisor Thomas Geist.
The programme hosted Coach Dimeji from Ondo, Nigeria, who received his certificate of completion alongside a team-signed jersey in recognition of his month-long residency.
Designed to be a technical education pillar of X-TOUCH, the residency programme equips coaches with modern methodologies, tactical systems, and academy governance skills. This initiative runs alongside X-TOUCH’s core offerings in player representation, AI-powered digital solutions, and academy advisory services.
“At X-TOUCH, we believe football is not just about players but also about strengthening the institutions that shape them,” said OlaOlu Adedayo, Founder & Lead Agent. “By investing in coach education, we are building long-term allies for player scouting and creating referral networks in underserved regions.”
The residency is set to expand into multiple editions annually, with coaches trained through the programme expected to become critical drivers of talent identification and development across Africa.
