Marcelo reported for coaching his academy without proper credentials | OneFootball

The Spanish Nacional Academy of Football Coaches (ANEFF) has reported Real Madrid left-back Marcelo’s company, Campus 12, to the regional ministry of sport for professional intrusiveness.

Marcelo and Caio Alves, an indoor football professional for FS Valdepenas, run a football training course manage a football training course called Project Campus 12 using the sporting facilities of Getafe’s town hall. The course covers seven-a-side, beach football and indoor football.

“We have reported Marcelo and Caio Alves’ limited company Campus 12 School as they carry out soccer sessions without any coaching credentials,” ANEFF president Conrado Galan told ESPN FC on Friday.

“They have a football school and the sessions are held in sporting facilities owned by Getafe’s town hall, coincidentally 200 metres away from ANEFF’s headquarters. It hurts us to watch that with our own eyes and we had to do something about it.”

Marcelo and Caio Alves are on the staff page of the website but only one member of the academy, Andrés Parada, has the credentials to coach.

“We gave them the opportunity back in January when we first reported it and urged them to take away from their website and their social media any reference that they were coaches as the law demands that in order to be a football coach you need a sporting qualification,” Galan said.

“In their case, they would need to have the intermediate or superior title of sporting technician and only one of the staff has that. They completely ignored this and we’ve had to go public.”
