Football it’s a sport that it´s played at the highest level, and footballers need to be focused only on the game, so that they can achieve their goals. Agents play a big role on the life of players. They are responsible for negotiating their client’s contracts, salary, and answer to their needs. Although agents commit to respond to almost every problem that arises on their client’s day-to-day life, the majority fail to deliver the best solutions. The aim of this thesis its to develop a business plan for a new integrated management system, that will be used by sports career managers. With the platform, agents can have all the information in one place, and will also obtain responses from its smart database. If a player needs a psychologist, the agent just needs to search on the platform for a nearby recommended professional psychologist. This platform will be seen as a new management tool in this market. It will improve the services of career managers and that will lead to an upgrade on the delivered actions. The business plan will access if this project is viable or not and explain the reasons in detail.
