Our team
Meet the dedicated team of people behind the Atticus Group.
JESSE DE PRETER
“I founded Atticus because I wanted it to be the engine of something true, cool, inspiring and fun in this mad business of sports and entertainment.”
DIRK GEUENS
“I’ve been with Atticus from the onset. I like the exhilarating atmosphere of football. Competitive, multicultural, legal yet highly emotional. The best part for me is helping players foster their talent. When they make the grade the feeling is unsurpassed.”
JAN OPPERS
“It is often said that an athlete’s performance depends 50% on his body and 50% on his mindset. I’ll make sure you’re as close to 100% as you possibly can.”
JULIE RUMES
“A shoulder to lean on. The one who always has your back. Your trustee and experienced second opinion. All that is me. The dedication, the passion, the infinite love for the game … that would be you.”
SOFYANE BENKHEIL
“I gave it all to be a pro player but didn’t make it. I can deal with setbacks but I do not accept quitting. Atticus made me aware of my biggest talents. I won’t hide the obstacles between you and your success, I’ll help you embrace them and overcome them.”
TOMASZ RADZINSKI
“I know from experience as a player how one decision can make or break a sports career. That’s why you need people with expertise to guide you. I can not play the game for you, but I can offer knowledge and advice. I will share my vision and my international network in football. So you can focus on getting better as a player.”
PATRICK SMOLDERS
“Design is not adding the latest trend to a visual. It is about making something for your clients they never could have imagined. Go for ‘wow’! Every single time.”
LOT WIELFAERT
“Being on Ann Wauters side for many years made me understand the importance on having that one person, next to you, in an athletes career. My main goal is to guide young players in their vocation, achieve their goal and help them to leave their mark.”
ALINNE ARANTES DOS SANTOS
“As a child, my parents did not want me to play football, so I decided to become a football agent instead. I’m Atticus’ connection between Brazilian, Portuguese and Belgian football.”
