About:

Umir currently works as BBC Sport’s football tactics correspondent. You can find most of his latest writing here now.

He has worked as a professional club analyst and scout previously, as well as a pundit-analyst for The Overlap’s Breakdown. Outside of football, Umir has worked as medical doctor for the NHS in the UK.

I have published public-facing analysis and scout pieces over a prolonged period on this blog and through various social media platforms.

Through the merit of my work and various footballing connections, I have been afforded the pleasure of working in the sport at the highest level.

I practice sharing this expertise through other mediums – video and audio, too.

Subscribing to this newsletter will offer you opinion pieces and reflections about the sport of football both culturally and tactically – through narratives and in analysis.

Kind regards,

Dr. Umir.
