Our guest on Episode #64 of the TGG Podcast is Paul Fernie.

Paul is Sporting Director of SV Darmstadt in Germany. He grew up in Hull and worked in analysis roles in England before the opportunity came to join Wiesbaden.

He progressed from Head of Recruitment to Sporting Director and led the club from promotion to Bundesliga 2.

Paul told us how the Sporting Director role works in Germany, what it was like to work under Graham Potter and Paul Mitchell and why more English staff should give it a go abroad.
