"Daniel didn't just send my highlight reel to clubs. He sat down with me, explained what I needed to improve, and introduced me to the right people. That's rare."

Player About
A football agent who actually picks up the phone.
I'm Daniel Chegg, a football agent based in Manila. I work with players, families, clubs, and partners who want a proper relationship — not just a signature at the bottom of a page.
A little background
Manila is home. The work travels.
I run a small football representation practice out of Manila. It's a deliberately quiet setup — a short list of players I work with closely, a handful of clubs and partners I've known for years, and a lot of time spent on the phone.
Most of what I do doesn't make the news, and that's usually the point. Good careers are built in the boring bits between transfer windows: the pre–season conversation nobody sees, the introduction that leads to a trial six months later, the honest chat with a family when the offer isn't the right one.
My approach is simple. Put the player first. Respect the club. Do what you said you'd do. The rest tends to take care of itself.
What I believe
Six things I try to hold to, most days.
01
Trust
This whole thing runs on it. I don't take it lightly.
02
Professionalism
Prepared, on time, and the same person in every room.
03
Player–First
The career belongs to the player. I'm just here to help.
04
Long–Term Thinking
The best moves rarely happen in a hurry.
05
International Outlook
Doors open in more places than most people realise.
06
Straight Talk
If it's not a good idea, I'll say so — kindly, but clearly.
Why I do this
"I want to help players and the people around them make better decisions — decisions they'll still be happy with five years from now."
Kind words
What players, clubs and partners say.
I don't collect these lightly. Every one of them reflects a real relationship or project.

Fancy a chat?
No commitment, no pitch. Just a proper conversation to see if we're a fit.
