“Dietmar… my agent who turned into a friend and family member. He has guided me professionally throughout my career for many years. We experienced highs and lows together and I was always able to trust him 1000%.
My father once told him: ‘Take good care of Lira, as if she was your own daughter’. He mastered that perfectly. I owe you a lot Dietmar, my friend, and I am happy that we are still close friends now after my career, that we work together and you still stand by my side when I receive requests now.“

“I am very satisfied with my cooperation with Ness&Network for 5 years now. It has helped me achieve my various sportive and professional projects.
We have always worked together in a relationship of trust, which is crucial to me.
Ness&Network also brought me into contact with Florent Carisio, who through his company FC Sport, accompanied me in the areas of sponsoring, communications and media. In 2019 this, for example, made it possible to manage all my solicitations related to the World Cup in the best possible manner.
I thank Ness&Network and FC Sport for encouraging me in my project of Camps for young girls. Since its launch in 2017, it has seen a lot of success and we are currently preparing the 9th edition.“

“Dietmar and I have known each other for ages now. Can I describe him in a few sentences? Absolutely not. He fills a whole chapter in the story of my life, not only my story as a footballer, but above all, my story as a human being.
I believe that there is a reason for every encounter in life and it is not always the most obvious reason. Dietmar is very obviously the best and most professional manager in his field, and I am grateful for that. But more importantly, he has understood life in a way that I have looked up to since day one. He is my mentor, friend and one of the most loyal people I know.
Thank you Dietmar for being so much more than most assume you are.
You are an asset to everyone and I will always appreciate that.“

“I have always perceived the cooperation with Dietmar as positive. Both he and his team always have an open ear for me. Dietmar has my complete trust. If you don’t know what to do, he comes up with options you would never even have thought of yourself. We have now known each other a little longer than three years and a friendly relationship has developed. He is more than just an agent.”

The team at the agency are honest and transparent with the athletes. They are helping the athletes to reach the peak of their career without forgetting their human side.

“I have been working with Dietmar and his team for almost 7 years now and for me it is just great to see what developed since our first meeting in 2017 until today. On the one hand, I am very happy that I was able to realise my sporting dreams and that I took the first big step out of my home town together with Dietmar. On the other hand, for me, working with a management also means building a basis of trust that goes beyond sporting issues. I am very grateful for this great trust since the first day, and excited to see what else Dietmar and his team will still make possible for me in the future.”

“I still remember our first meetings very well. I noticed right away that I would be in good hands. There was trust right from the start and I quickly realised that I was dealing with someone who knew a lot about the football industry and simply knew what he was doing. My expectations were exceeded, and to this day I am incredibly happy with how everything turned out. Dietmar has not only become the best advisor for me, but also a friend you can call at any time of the day.”
