About Jose Campos

Passionate Football/Soccer Executive | Scouting Leader | Community AdvocateBorn in Spain, my journey in the world of football/soccer has transcended borders, leading me to immerse myself in diverse cultures across continents, including the UK, the US, Nigeria, and China. With a solid academic background, including an MBA in Sports Management from the University of Oregon and a Master\'s in Sports Management from ESERP University in Barcelona, I bring a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience to the table.My career is underscored by a series of achievements and roles that reflect my commitment to excellence and community impact. As an Academy Lead Scout for Orlando City SC, I orchestrate a team of scouts to identify and recruit the most promising youth talents, ensuring a robust pipeline for the academy\'s success.Previously, as the Assistant Technical Director at Capelli Sport Plus, I played a pivotal role in scouting and recruiting talented players for professional teams in top European leagues such as Germany, Denmark, and the UK. My proficiency in negotiating transfer deals and contract renewals across multiple clubs has been instrumental in shaping successful player transitions.However, my journey extends beyond traditional football management roles. At Street Soccer USA, I served as the Managing Director of the PDX Community, where I leveraged the power of sports to drive social change and empower individuals. Witnessing the transformative impact of soccer on disadvantaged youth and marginalized communities, I remain deeply committed to utilizing my expertise to uplift and support the community through soccer initiatives.With a versatile skill set acquired through roles as a Managing Director, Youth Academy Director, and Head Coach, I have consistently delivered results by effectively managing budgets, increasing revenue, and nurturing talent. Proficient in scouting and analysis, I harness the power of cutting-edge programs such as WyScout, InStat, and Opta to identify players based on strategic positional needs and data-driven methodologies.Driven by a global perspective and an unwavering passion for the beautiful game, I am dedicated to spearheading success, fostering talent, and implementing strategic initiatives in the dynamic realm of soccer club management. Let\'s connect to explore opportunities for collaboration and mutual growth.
