Professional Director Claudio Balesini from Italy!
December 2022 - Claudio Balesini played for AC Milan during their golden era alongside Franco Baresi, Carlos Ancelotti, Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard, and Filippo Inzaghi when the club was ranked number one in the world. He also played at Clubs such as: FC Empoli, Calcio Lecco, and Torino FC. Once retired from football Claudio has worked for AC Milan's youth Academy, where he was instrumental in establishing more than 50 club linked Academies worldwide for the Club.
Moving forwards, Premier Academy is excited about opportunities where Claudio is able to have eyes on our Academy talent and provide assessments, advice and opportunity to young talent looking to take their craft abroad in the near future. This way players at Premier can explore options outside the Vancouver soccer "bubble!"
