New speakers at Soccerex 2008 conference

Soccerex are delighted to confirm that Gerard Houllier and former Springbok rugby coach Jake White will be bringing their wealth of experience to the 2008 Soccerex Conference programme. They will join Sir Clive Woodward on a panel that will look at the development and management of elite talent required to win a World Cup in different sporting spheres.

Speaking exclusively to Soccerex.com, Gerard Houllier said, “I'm very grateful to Duncan Revie for inviting me to contribute to Soccerex, it’s an ideal opportunity to exchange ideas, meet people and promote the development of players and coaches”

The former Liverpool manager and current Technical Director of the French Football Federation will speak on one of a series of panels at Soccerex 2008 named ‘How to win a World Cup’. Gerard Houllier was a key architect in the magnificent development of the French National Team that resulted in the ultimate ‘football crescendo’ of winning both the 1998 World Cup & 2000 European Championships. As Director of the National Academy at Clairefontaine, that has produced a generation of gifted players including Thierry Henry, he has an unrivalled knowledge of player development to share with Soccerex delegates.

Completing this panel of great sporting minds is Jake White, the former coach of the World Cup winning South African rugby team. This exceptional sporting leader will add another perspective on managing elite athletes and share his motivational and managerial techniques that made South Africa the strongest rugby nation in the world.
