Winning is why we are here
SD Management is an agency that works on a daily basis with professional rugby players and clubs, in France and abroad.
Our priority is to provide comprehensive, human and personalized career support.
We're there for each player from the moment they make their first professional choice, and support them throughout their career: negotiating contracts, managing their legal, tax and estate affairs, preparing for their post-career years... We work alongside them to build a structured career path in line with their values.
In addition, we work to enhance their image and boost their visibility. Communication strategy, content creation, media presence, partnerships with brands that match their profile: we help each player to convey an authentic image and to forge meaningful collaborations.
