About the Agency
A Boutique for High-Stakes Football
Millennium Soccer operates as a boutique agency with a clear focus: align talent, clubs and investors around long-term, transparent and sustainable football projects – always respecting regulations and the human dimension of the game.
Since the late 1990s, Pedro Secol Panzelli has been involved in international transfers and club management, building a network that spans 53 countries over six continents. In 2002, this experience transformed into Millennium Soccer – an independent agency driven by ethics, legal clarity and global reach.
The agency has contributed to transfers involving players and coaches competing in the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Champions League, Copa Libertadores and continental competitions in Asia, Africa, North America and Oceania.
Millennium Soccer’s work intentionally avoids noise and speculation. Negotiations are conducted discretely, with professional documentation, risk analysis and clear alignment between all parties involved.

Landmark Japan–Qatar Transfer
Leads the largest transfer from Japanese football to Qatar at the time, demonstrating the ability to bridge culturally distinct markets and to open new routes between Asian leagues and the Middle East.
Leadership in Brazilian Football
Appointed President of Guaratinguetá Futebol, then ranked 38th in the CBF national standings and competing in the Brazilian national league. Leads organizational restructuring and strategic planning from inside a professional club environment.
Global Legacy
Over 100 international transfers completed across 53 countries and six continents, including placements in the FIFA Club World Cup and major continental Champions League competitions. A track record that reflects consistency, resilience and long-term trust in the global football industry.
Regulation First
Every negotiation is structured in strict alignment with FIFA regulations and local laws, with special attention to training compensation, solidarity contributions and player protection.
Selective Portfolio
Millennium Soccer works with a limited number of clients, allowing personalised attention to each career or project – from youth potential to established international profiles.
Global but Human
Technology, data and global reach are combined with a human-centred approach. Behind each transfer, there is a life project that must make sense beyond the contract.
