It has been there for over a decade. I remember reading an article around 2009 that AC Milan has invested hundreds of thousands of Euros in data analytics and combed Europe for people who were skilled in mathematics, programming and statistics to work for them. But I do see the point of the article. Billy Beane has been interested in soccer for a while now and was a paid advisor to the San Jose Earthquakes for many years. |

I was pointing to the term “moneyball” aka Billy Beane rather than the principles of moneyball which have been used at many football teams very successfully Midtjylland being a prime example, this however is the first time Billy Beane to my knowledge as been involved in a top flight football structure.
