NOSOTROS

What NOSOTROS does

NOSOTROS (operating commercially as NOSOTROS FC) is a Paris-based French professional training organization that delivers online education programs for football coaches, analysts, and educators. Founded in 2019 and structured as a privately-held SAS (NOSOTROS SAS), the company positions itself as a French-language reference platform for football professionals seeking continuous development in modern coaching methodologies, tactical analysis, and player development. Its primary customers are individual coaches and performance specialists working at professional, semi-professional, and grassroots football clubs across France and Europe, with secondary demand from scouts and sporting directors. The company is co-founded by Alilou Issa and operates with a small core team.

The platform's product surface consists of four core training courses — Développement Individuel (led by Adrien Tarascon of OL/PSG), Jeu de Position (led by Carles Martinez Novell of Bayer Leverkusen/FC Barcelona), Tactique Collective et Individuelle Défensive (led by Pere Romeu of FC Barcelona), and Observer et Analyser le Jeu en Football (a 30-hour, 8-week program co-designed with university researchers) — supplemented by a conference series and a resource center of expert interviews. All training is delivered 100% remotely via the Thinkific Learning Management System at formation.nosotrosxp.com, combining video-based asynchronous modules with synchronous components, evaluation tooling, learner dashboards, and live-replay capabilities. The platform does not operate a native mobile app and has no disclosed API or SDK. Strategic partnerships with Université Paris 13's STAPS department (academic pipeline) and The Tactical Room (football journalism) anchor credibility and content distribution.

NOSOTROS monetizes through one-time upfront course fees paid by bank transfer, with optional third-party funding through OPCO (Operators' Skills Interoperability Funds) for employees of member organizations and Pole Emploi for job seekers. The company holds Qualiopi certification (French national quality standard for professional training), which underwrites eligibility for these financing channels — though NOSOTROS explicitly does not currently offer RNCP-registered qualifications, so the individual CPF funding channel is not available. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is described as fixed and definitive. Self-reported 2025 performance indicators include a 98.5% learner satisfaction rate, an 81% evaluation pass rate, an 87% FFF (French Football Federation) certification rate, and a +84 Net Promoter Score. A 5,000+-subscriber weekly newsletter functions as the primary customer-acquisition channel, and testimonial coverage spans approximately 18+ elite European clubs and national federations.

Revenue model

1. Professional football training courses (one-time fee): NOSOTROS generates revenue primarily through one-time fees charged for individual training courses. Payment is due upfront (comptant) by bank transfer. The training is delivered entirely remotely via the Thinkific LMS platform. Prices are fixed and definitive, as stated in their CGV.
2. CPF and OPCO financing (third-party funded training): As a Qualiopi-certified organization, NOSOTROS can have training costs covered via OPCO (Operators' Skills Interoperability Funds) for employees of member organizations. Pole Emploi financing is also available for job seekers. Note: NOSOTROS explicitly states they do NOT currently offer qualifications registered on the French RNCP (national certification registry), so CPF cannot be used directly.
3. Newsletter / community platform: NOSOTROS maintains a community of 5,000+ professionals and enthusiasts who receive a weekly newsletter, serving as a primary customer acquisition and engagement channel. While the newsletter itself is free, it drives enrollments to paid training programs.

Direct peers

• The Coaches' Voice: Digital football coaching platform featuring tactical analysis videos and interviews with elite managers. Overlaps with NOSOTROS in producing expert football coaching content distributed to professional coaches, though The Coaches' Voice is video-first and lacks formal certification pathways.
• StatsBomb: Football analytics company providing data, tools, and training to clubs, federations, and analysts. Alexandre Taylor (a NOSOTROS contributor) is from StatsBomb; both organizations target the football analyst persona and deliver expert-led technical education to the same audience of coaches and analysts.
• Spielverlagerung: Well-known football tactics and analysis blog/community producing in-depth tactical content for coaches and analysts. It overlaps with NOSOTROS's 'Observer et analyser le jeu' course and resource-center model of expert-driven analysis content for the coaching community, though it is non-commercial and lacks certifications.
• Coerver Coaching: International soccer coaching company offering coaching education, clinics, and certification programs for grassroots through elite-level coaches. Comparable in providing structured, expert-led coach training delivered via in-person and digital formats across multiple countries.
• Johan Cruyff Institute: Online sports education institute offering postgraduate and continuing-education programs in sport management, coaching, and football. Comparable in delivering expert-led online football education to professionals globally, though it focuses on academic/degree-credentialed programs rather than short-form professional courses.
• Training Ground Guru: UK-based platform providing football coaching, sports science, and analysis content and events. Comparable in serving the same football-coaching and performance-staff audience with expert-led educational resources, though anchored in the English-speaking market rather than French.

Others

• Thinkific: The Learning Management System on which NOSOTROS delivers all of its training. As the underlying platform infrastructure provider, Thinkific is an enabling technology partner rather than a competitor, but is relevant context for understanding NOSOTROS's delivery economics and scalability.

Broad incumbents

• Fédération Française de Football (FFF) - Institut de Formation du Football (IFE): The official French Football Federation and its training arm (IFE) deliver the canonical coach certifications that NOSOTROS's learners ultimately obtain. Yann Kervella from FFF is a NOSOTROS testimonial, indicating a partnership/complementary relationship rather than direct head-to-head competition, but the FFF remains the institutional anchor for French coach education.
• United Soccer Coaches: Long-established U.S.-based soccer coaching education organization offering certifications, diplomas, and continuing education for coaches at all levels. Comparable to NOSOTROS in its mission to credential and upskill football coaches, though it operates at significantly larger scale and via in-person plus online formats.

Regional players

• BePro Coaching: French-language football coaching platform offering online training and resources for coaches in francophone markets. Comparable in target audience (francophone football professionals) and digital training delivery model, positioning it as a direct regional competitor.
