Dr Maurizio Valenti

I am a Senior Lecturer in the Sport Policy Unit at Manchester Metropolitan University.

I serve as the Programme Leader of the BSc Sport Business Management and BSc Sport Marketing Management undergraduate courses.

My main research interests reside around sports economics and sports management. The research I conduct covers various aspects of women’s football, including competitive balance, uncertainty of outcome and countries’ international sporting success. I have collaborated with UEFA and national football associations to help inform their decision-making regarding the long-term sustainability of the women’s game.
