Alex Telles sister Hellen Telles succeeds on the difficult FIFA exam to obtain her licence as a football agent
Hellen Telles, the sister of Manchester United left-back Alex, earned her licence as a football agent after completing the new FIFA exam.
Only 52% of the 3,800 candidates who took the initial test earlier this month passed, according to FIFA.
Who is football agent Hellen Telles sister of Alex Telles: Bio, family, education and Instagram
And Telles, the proprietor of H13 Sports Management, revealed that she is one of them in an Instagram post.
Her post on social media read:
Officially a licensed FIFA agent! Few will have the real notion of what this means to me. This title is the seal of 9 years of construction and daily struggle for recognition.”
She continued by saying that despite coming from a family that lives and breathes football, she didn’t ask to enter the world of football. She had to bang on the door, show up, and prove herself worthy.
In order to be regarded and, more importantly, to be seen, she must resist suspicious looks, dodge insults, and run from futile attempts. And she kept doing that every day, she stated.
The female football agent shared her experiences as well, saying that the only reasons she stay and return are due to her skills and her values, yet being a woman in this place is like this.
None of that I won. ANYTHING. I deserve to be here because I understand this thing called football and I’m not afraid to say that. In fact, I am very proud to be one of the few women in the world with that title. Merit.”
She then expressed her gratitude to everyone who has helped her and never questioned this, who support her work. They are aware of who they are, “and thanks also to you who doubt. This is fuel. They also know who they are.”
The 30-year-old brother of Hellen Telles, Alex, moved from Porto to Manchester United but struggled to find a place in the team after arriving.
He is now on loan at Sevilla. He still has one year left on his Old Trafford deal and helped the Spanish squad knock out his parent team last week in the Europa League.
