Oliver Cabrera

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oliver Michael Cabrera (born May 24, 1963 in Gothenburg ) is a Swedish player agent and football functionary .

Career

Born in Gothenburg, Cabrera emigrated to Spain with his family at the age of seven , but returned to Sweden to study at Chalmers University of Technology and Stockholm School of Commerce and then founded a trading company. From 2001 he sat on the board of Hammarby IF for one year . At this time he came into contact with the gaming agent business.

With Cabreras OML Sport & Marketing AB , which he and two colleagues founded, Cabrera represented various players, especially from Sweden, but also active and formerly active foreign players there. Among them were actors like Ari , Dušan Đurić , Andreas Johansson and Wilton Figueiredo . He has received several awards for his work, in February 2014 he received the award of Sweden's mediator of the year 2013 from the organization Sport & Pengar .

After Cabrera had repeatedly violated the players' agent regulations - on the one hand, during negotiations between GAIS and Feyenoord Rotterdam about a player change from Wanderson do Carmo, he had included a passage in the contract proposal according to which the Westhill Group , to which the transfer rights would have been assigned upon conclusion would have been able to decide on further transfers without the player's objection, and on the other hand, when Roni Porokaras was scheduled to change players, he would also represent the clubs Örebro SK and Maccabi Haifa in addition to the player - the Swedish Football Association withdrew his agent license at the end of November 2010. After calling the complaints committee, before which the former Justice Minister Thomas Bodström represented him, he got his license back at the end of December.

In the summer of 2011, Cabrera made the headlines again when he claimed that his client Dušan Đurić was simply not considered in the Swedish national team "because of his surname" . The head of the association, Lars-Åke Lagrell , dismissed these racism allegations as absurd in view of players such as Emir Bajrami , Daniel Majstorović , Zlatan Ibrahimović or Behrang Safari .
