The future of football is now.

Football's data revolution has only just begun. The arrival of advanced metrics and detailed analysis is already reshaping the modern game. We can now fully assess player performance, analyse the role of luck, and measure what really leads to victory. There is no turning back.

Now the race is on between football's wealthiest clubs and a group of outsiders, nerds, and rule-breakers, who are turning the game on its head with their staggering innovations. Winning is no longer just about what happens out on the pitch; it's now a battle taking place in boardrooms and on screens across international borders, with the world's brightest minds driving for an edge over their fiercest rivals.

Football Hackers by Christoph Biermann has moved in the midst of these disruptive upheavals, talking to scientists, coaches, managers, scouts, and psychologists in the world's major clubs. Travelling across Europe and the US, Biermann reveals the hiddenβ€”and often jaw-droppingβ€”truths behind the beautiful game.
