Ligue 1's Spotlight Dims Post-Mbappé Kylian Mbappé's departure from Ligue 1 has marked a significant shift for French football. As the league's standout star, Mbappé attracted global attention and boosted commercial appeal. His exit has created a noticeable void, with Ligue 1 struggling to maintain its prominence in the face of declining viewership and sponsorships. While the league continues to feature talented players, none have yet matched Mbappé's global impact. Clubs like Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are working to fill this gap through emerging talent and strategic signings. Despite these challenges, Ligue 1 remains competitive and vibrant. The league now faces the task of redefining its narrative and fostering new stars to reclaim its global spotlight. #footballminute #minutedigest #ligueun #mbappe

Video feedback on the national team "The Swiss rotations were excellent," said Avram Grant, and the Image (top right) shows Aebischer again in a central position, with Ricardo Rodriguez, the left-sided centre-back, out on the wing. With their rotations, Switzerland gained superiority in the centre of the pitch, where the three midfielders in Italy's 4-3-3 formation were outnumbered, particularly when Breel Embolo dropped deep into midfield. Crucially, the Swiss players were always available to receive between the lines.

The recent announcement regarding #FootballAgent regulations in Italy from the FIGC (Italian Football FederationA) earlier in the week may have been a little underwhelming for some. Especially, since the "new" #FIGC Agents Regulations are yet to be published (and they come into force) as they are still subject to CONI (Italian National Olympic Committee) approval. Although these are not the long-anticipated new Italian Football Agent regulations, those in the football agent space should be aware of the amendments to the wording in the existing agent regulations to account for those #FFAR rules currently suspended by FIFA (as per circular no. 1873). The press release from 1st October'24 is attached, with basic translations in 🇬🇧/🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇵🇹,🇫🇷,🇩🇪,🇪🇸 and the original 🇮🇹 (as per the FIGC's wording). As soon as any new regulations are announced The Agents Angle will aim to bring you an update from Italy ASAP." #AgenteDiCalcio #AgentRegulations #FootballAgent #FIFAagent #FootballRegulation
