CATALAN Elite Football is offering coaches the chance to earn a unique qualification in one of Europe’s most successful football methodologies. Their academy in Dublin is teaching young Irish footballers how to play the Catalan way, using the Smartfootball methodology.
This will be the first SmartFootball Level 1 Coaches Workshop to be held in Ireland and the UK.
What is Smart Football?
SmartFootball was developed by former RCD Espanyol coach Juanlu Martinez and is supported by multiple investigations and football academies, universities and professional teams of the highest international standard.

Having overseen the coach education of top professionals like Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino and former Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova, Vinas is respected across the continent.
On Smartfootball, Vinas explains:
“The tactical concepts are present at all times, what we want is that the player understands the game, knows how to occupy the space, create spaces for the team-mates, offer solutions and line passes, and tactical concepts. “An important aspect of our methodology is how we help the players to arrive to the solution of every problem proposed by not directing them but by helping the players find solutions to the problems”.
