Planet Football is a football consultancy based in Croatia and led by Ivan Kepcija, and experienced professional who has worked within the famed Dinamo Zagreb Academy, in addition to roles as Sporting Director of Legia Warsaw in the Polish top Division, as well as Hajduk Split from Croatia. Ivan has also consulted with the Brentford FC/FC Midtylland conglomerate in the most recent past, amongst others.

Our Sporting Director Graeme Mathie commented: “It is a real benefit to us to have this strategic relationship with Planet Football.

“As part of our Strategic plan we want to be known as the best club in Scotland for identifying and developing the very best domestic talent, but we also want to be known for having an ability to identify and recruit from key international markets.

“This agreement allows us to have access to Ivan Kepcija who is a highly experienced Head of Recruitment and Sporting Director within international markets which are accessible for us.

“Ivan will help to lead on our recruitment processes and help to bring together our resources to allow us to further develop our recruitment function.

“In addition, and when COVID regulations allow, he will also visit our Academy to share his ideas on Player Development models from Croatia.

“I am excited to add Ivan and his company to our network and look forward to working with them in the coming weeks and months.”
