Roberto Calenda
FIFA-Licensed Agent, Sports Representative, and Strategic Advisor
Roberto Calenda is a FIFA-licensed agent and sports representative. Since 1997, he has operated in international professional football, managing world-class players and advising clubs through intermediary transactions. Some of these deals have shaped the recent history of the sport (Carlos Tevez, Thiago Silva, Maicon, Victor Osimhen, among others).
His work is grounded in core values such as honesty, integrity, respect, and transparency. Calenda does not compromise on principles and pursues his objectives with determination and persistence. His career also reflects a strong and consistent commitment to the fight against racism.
From a professional standpoint, his entire team works to support the players they represent. The priority is to protect and safeguard the athletes, even when it requires making difficult decisions. The same approach applies when negotiating transfers, as Roberto states to identify the ideal destination for a player’s career, you must act like a tailor crafting a bespoke suit. Everything must be perfect: the team, the coach, the club, the environment, the city, and of course the financial aspect, which is important but not the only factor guiding our work. Our players should focus solely on playing; the rest is handled by TEAMRC.
