Welcome to B.A.S.E.

Balkan Analytical Scouting & Evaluation

B.A.S.E. is my independent project, a scouting initiative built to sharpen the skills I care about most: talent identification, player development, and smart decision-making across a football club’s sporting structure.

At its core, B.A.S.E. focuses on one region: the Balkans. That includes countries like Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Kosovo, and the European part of Turkey. It’s a region with deep footballing roots and a track record of producing world-class talent, but one that’s still often overlooked.

This is my attempt to not overlook it.

I scout games, analyze players, and assess which talents have the tools to succeed at higher levels –technically, physically, tactically, and mentally. I think about transferability, scalability and ask whether a player can grow in tougher systems, bigger leagues, or different tactical environments.

But B.A.S.E. is more than a professional project. I have strong personal ties to the Balkans, and building B.A.S.E. has been a way to stay close to that part of the world while doing the kind of work I love. Every match I study, every player I evaluate, it all sharpens my vision of what it takes to build a great squad. It’s applied learning that helping me become the Sporting Director I want to be.

Thanks for stopping by. Let’s see what we can find.
