Nineteen European teams, plus one from South America, were named “Top 20” in the list of Most Attractive Employers in Sport – in the category Football Clubs – in a survey conducted by the Switzerland-based company iWorkinSport.
The study surveyed more than a thousand people from all continents, with the majority already working in sport, and asked them a simple question: “If you could choose to work anywhere in sport, where would that be?”
At first, the respondents chose organisations divided into nine categories, and at the end, they indicated one single preferred choice, overall – the “Employer of their Dreams”.
In the category Football Clubs, the 20 most voted teams were, in alphabetical order:
AC Milan (ITA)
Ajax (NED)
Arsenal (ENG)
Atlético Madrid (ESP)
Barcelona (ESP)
Bayern Munich (GER)
Boca Juniors (ARG)
Borussia Dortmund (GER)
Chelsea (ENG)
Inter Milan (ITA)
Juventus (ITA)
Leicester City (ENG)
Liverpool (ENG)
Manchester City (ENG)
Manchester United (ENG)
Paris Saint-Germain (FRA)
RB Leipzig (GER)
Real Madrid (ESP)
Roma (ITA)
Tottenham Hotspur (ENG)
English clubs account for seven of the 20 teams on the list, while Italy has four representatives. Other countries that appear on the list are Spain and Germany - each with three clubs - plus France, the Netherlands and Argentina – each with one team.
