You may have heard about Ledman’s Player Development Project. In January 2016, Ledman Optoelectronic Co., Ltd., a Chinese listed company, signed an cooperative agreement with Proenca, president of Portuguese Professional Football League and relevant officers which prescribed that Ledman would be the official sponsor of Segunda Liga and got a series of business rights. Hence, Ledman became the first Chinese enterprise to name one of the European Football Leagues.
Meanwhile, Ledman will send 10 Chinese football players and 3 assistant coaches to several top 10 clubs of Segunda Liga to improve their professional skills
At present, in order to ensure the smooth material of the Player Development Project and the quality of the players, Ledman hired Portuguese experienced soccer scout and coach Paulo R. Mr. Cardoso. Mr. Cardoso is working as a coach and scout for nearly 30 years, has a close relationship with the Portuguese football clubs in Liga Nos and Ledman Ligapro as well as with football clubs in Europe and South America. From 1995 to 2006, he is working in the Academy of Portuguese Super League club Sporting Lisbon FC.
