Description

The huge growth in the economic resources of professional football clubs has given analysts the opportunity to work in a more thorough, organized way and to contribute to improving team performance. This in turn has firmly placed this professional job profile within a growing labor market.
At the same time, the continuous progress in the development and evolution of tactical analysis in football makes study and training in this field of work permanent. The work proposals are increasingly broad for analysts, which allows them to take work roles in specific topics of analysis. For this reason, in this programme we will delve into four specific topics in which an analyst can specialise and thus perform a professional job in a specific scope, considering the impact of technology within this field, and therefore the acquisition of basic knowledge regarding the foundations that make up its use, understanding, and application.
