Gareth Southgate, the former England soccer manager, has partnered his production company 1071 Media with Sky Sports to create multiple content formats across YouTube and podcasts.
The deal centers on three shows. The Football Dugout will be a weekly podcast and YouTube show hosted by Match of the Day's Mark Chapman alongside Conor Coady, focusing on tactical analysis. The Football Boardcast, hosted by Christian Purslow and Henry Winter, explores the money, power, and politics of modern soccer. The Football Data Room, presented by soccer analysts on YouTube, combines data with insight.
Sky Media will handle commercial representation for all formats. Southgate launched 1071 Media recently with Jimmy Worrall. Southgate said the company aims to "combine exciting new concepts with the leading thinkers in sport to educate, inform and entertain fans."
