Erling Haaland agent lifts lid on sexist abuse received while representing Man City star

Agent Rafaela Pimenta has revealed the shocking levels of sexism in her business.

Pimenta is now one of the most powerful women in football as she succeeded her former business partner Mino Raiola after his death in April last year. Brazilian-born lawyer Pimenta, who represents the likes of Erling Haaland and Paul Pogba, said: “If I was Margaret Thatcher, this would not happen. You can run a country but not be a football agent.

“I’ve been insulted, called names, told I know nothing. But I don’t care. I’ve been told that by club executives, trainers, everyone. But I am here.”
