The Brazilian soccer market, which reveals great stars, demands a constant professionalization process.
Facing this scenario, Dorneles Sports Consultancy seeks excellence in the management of its athletes’ careers, as well as in the contact with its partners, striving for credibility, transparency and responsibility in its relations.
The company, which is located in Rio Grande do Sul, operates all around Brazil, as well as with international soccer.
