Ball Watching hosts, Jake Koenig and Justin Graham, welcome St. Louis CITY SC's President and GM, Diego Gigliani, to the show! Prior to joining CITY, Diego worked in multiple soccer roles for both Manchester City and their parent City Football Group, influencing both on-field results and off-field operations for clubs across the globe.

In the interview, we discuss a variety of topics, including things like: his upbringing in Buenos Aires and various areas of the world,  what led him to soccer, how he brings learnings from his prior role to CITY, his job description at CITY, what goals he has for the club, and how he describes his leadership style. 

We hope you enjoy!
