Former Manchester United and France striker Louis Saha has built a €4.5 billion business, helping athletes and entertainers manage their careers.
Louis Saha, once a prolific striker for Manchester United and the French national team, has made an extraordinary transition from football to business. The 46-year-old, who won the Champions League, two Premier League titles, and a World Cup silver medal, now co-owns a company valued at over €4.5 billion.
From footballer to business mogul
Saha’s company specializes in building connections between professional athletes, entertainers, and trusted partners, helping them navigate their careers beyond sports. With over 550 clients from the sports industry, the business is thriving.
"People still ask me for advice every day. For example, my agent recently called about a talented French footballer looking to move to England. He wanted guidance on setting up a custom training program, so I connected him with people I used to work with," Saha explained.
His company offers athletes the ability to find personal trainers and career advisors in their region, providing a structured support system for their professional journeys.
"It’s a challenging process, but if I can help 100,000 people, that’s the best thing I’ve ever done," he added.
Saha’s illustrious football career
Saha began his professional career in 1997 with Metz, before playing for Newcastle and Fulham. In 2004, he joined Manchester United, where he won two Premier League titles and Champions League in 2008.
He scored 42 goals in 124 appearances for the Red Devils, before moving on to Everton, Tottenham, Sunderland, and Lazio, retiring in 2013.
On the international stage, Saha earned 20 caps for France, scoring four goals and helping Les Bleus reach the 2006 World Cup final.
