The ex-Olympic handball player, Bruno Martini, has been announced as the new Esports General Manager of Team Vitality. The former Olympian has vast experience in team managing and he spent the last eight years working as the General Manager of Paris Saint-Germain’s handball team. According to the release, Mr. Martini won 17 titles with the Parisian team and has also set various ‘national and international records’.
The release also states that Bruno Martini will ‘lead the performance infrastructure across all of Team Vitality’s rosters’.
Fabien ‘Neo’ Devide, the President & Co-founder of Team Vitality, commented:
“We take performance incredibly seriously at Team Vitality, of course in-game, but our players are professional competitors, and to perform at the highest possible level we need to give them every advantage. I was looking for former professional sportsmen with experience in management, and I couldn’t have hoped to find someone with a resume as impressive as Bruno’s. I cannot wait to see what he brings to Team Vitality.”
Team Vitality’s new Esports General Manager added:
“There are so many important factors to performance, team spirit, fitness, mental health support, etc. and what’s essential is that our players are convinced that this will make them play better, and play better as a team. This is my first role in esports, and I was hugely impressed by the Team Vitality brand and the infrastructure they already have in place. I’m very excited for this new challenge of bringing my experience in building performance structures around professional sportsmen to esports players.”
