GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:agente desportivo
English translation:team personnel

Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Portuguese term or phrase: agente desportivo
From the statutes of a sports federation:

"Registar os contratos de trabalho dos respectivos praticantes e demais *agentes desportivos*.

I thought at first it might be sports agent, but that would appear to be "empresário", so what on earth are agentes desportivos? Could it just be a general term to cover such persons as coaches, team selectors, and others who are involved in the sport without actually being players/athletes?

Any suggestions gratefully received.
Fiona.

...and other team personnel.


Explanation:
As you suspect, it appears that the reference is to employees of the team in question (e.g., coaches, equipment managers, etc.) who are not "athletes" or "players" [i.e., praticantes].

Boa sorte.
