NF Academy
The pillar of NF Academy’s effectiveness is the coaches. For our players to achieve great results, they have to work with the best.
Our programs are led by:
- Leader Coach
- Assistant Coach or Assistant local Coach to support translations when needed
Standard of excellence
When we say that we have Top Coaches, it is not because we think they are reasonable; it is because we look at their background. All the NF Coaches have five characteristics that we believe are important to keep the high-level and effectiveness of our programs:
- UEFA graduation
- Minimum of 10 years of experience
- Background in medium/high-level environments
- Passion and experience in work with youth players
- Excellent human beings
The Portuguese philosophy
All our coaches studied and got experience in Portuguese Youth Academies. Why did we make this selection? Because the Portuguese methodology has already proven to be one of the most successful in the World. Not just looking to the youth talents Portugal produces, but also the top Portuguese coaches that today led top European clubs.
