Joe is joined by former Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale to discuss his life as an elite level coach, a look back on his playing days and what the world of scouting and consultancy has brought since pivoting away from day-to-day management. Listen now for insights into giving Ollie Watkins and Ethan Ampadu their big breaks, player development, how clubs are recruiting in 2024 and much, much more. A fascinating conversation. 

Perhaps the most thrilling and story-laden Africa Cup of Nations in recent history, of course we've dedicated an episode of the SCOUTED podcast to it. Joe is joined by Sky and talkSPORT broadcaster Kweku Afari to recount the highs and lows - but mainly highs - of this year's AFCON. Featuring a former Premier League striker spinning tunes behind the decks, Simon Adingra's coming-of-age, yet another Génération Foot alumnus starring for Senegal and plenty more.

SCOUTED Weekly is here and Tom, Phil and Steve discuss Kobbie Mainoo, Adam Wharton and England's future, as well as Kai Havertz, Chelsea and eating mints with celebrities. Also: Handbook History is a spice fest. 

The names Kévin Denkey, Mohamed Amoura and Igor Thiago might not mean an awful lot outside Belgium right now, but they certainly will in the months and years to come. At SCOUTED, we pride ourselves on getting in on players early and that's exactly what this week's episode does. Joe is joined by Belgian football consultant and podcaster Scott Coyne to discuss the aforementioned trio currently tearing up the Pro League, Union Saint-Gilloise's scouting dossiers, as well as Belgium's top two divisions harbouring one of the largest Japanese diasporas in the footballing world. Listen now.

Today on SCOUTED Weekly: Steve Ganavas and Joe Donnohue join me to talk the differing fortunes of two champions elect: Bayer Leverkusen and Girona. Plus, Joe makes his Handbook History bow against Stephen, the current leader. 

SCOUTED Weekly is here on time, praise be. This week: Klopp's out, Xavi's out, the dominoes are falling across the managerial merry-go-round and the Spanish press are hoping they land in the direction of Mikel Arteta. Plus: Tommy Tuchel, Antonio Nusa, J.LEAGUE and Handbook History, which does not go to plan. Enjoy. 

SCOUTED's very own Joe Donnohue and Llew Davies discuss the players born 2006-or-later who are taking their first, quite prominent steps in Europe's major leagues this season, as well as a handful of names in lesser competitions you need to be aware of, too. Featuring: Archie Gray, Lamine Yamal, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Lewis Miley, Eli Junior Kroupi, Lucas Bergvall and plenty more. Listen, share and subscribe now.
