Fascinating Brands Documentary On Premier League World

A fascinating documentary focusing on the career of Everton Director of Football Marcel Brands will air on Sky Sports Premier League tonight at 6.30pm.

It will feature in the Premier League World programme and includes interviews with a host of star names including Louis van Gaal, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Carlo Ancelotti, Andre Gomes and Brands himself.

The documentary will chart Brands’ journey from player to commercial director and then technical director at RKC Waalwijk. It will then focus on Brands’ hugely-successful time with AZ Alkmaar when - alongside manager van Gaal - he helped shape an Eredivisie title-winning side.

Brands' eight-year spell at PSV Eindhoven - during which time he revolutionised their renowned Academy - will also be covered, before moving on the Dutchman’s motivations for moving to Everton and his ambitions at the Club.

As well hearing from the likes of van Gaal, Martin Jol and van Nistelrooy - who Brands convinced to take up coaching at PSV's academy after he'd finished playing - there are also interviews with Marcel’s father, Tiny, and brother, Frank.

Several Everton players including Gomes, Richarlison and Yerry Mina also feature, while Blues boss Ancelotti shines a light on his working relationship with Brands.

The documentary will feature on Premier League World on Sky Sports Premier League at 6.30pm on Wednesday. It will air across the Sky Sports network throughout the next week. Supporters outside the UK should check their national sports networks to find out when Premier League World is available.
