Erik Barmack’s new production company Wild Sheep Content, Zoomsport and Rooftop Film & TV have joined forces to co-produce two football-themed docuseries, The Agent and Ronaldo, el presidente.

The Agent is a six-part sport and reality series that gives viewers a window into the life of one of football’s most well-connected agents, Pere Guardiola. It features exclusive behind-the-scenes access to meetings with players, contract negotiations and the daily running of a topflight football club.

Ronaldo, el presidente provides full access to follow Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima as he goes about his business as the new owner of the Spanish football club Valladolid. With the participation of Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Zinedine Zidane and more, the series also looks back on Ronaldo’s own career, whether it’s from his luxurious home in Ibiza or with his family in Brazil.

Rooftop Content Group’s co-founder and managing partner, Jordi Van Even, said, “After the worldwide success of the Barca documentary Take the Ball, Pass the Ball, these two projects are the direct result of our logical partnership expansion with Zoomsport. Adding renowned TV executive Erik Barmack and his new company Wild Sheep Content to the equation has upped the creative and commercial level of the shows. We wanted to go for content that’s attractive for sports lovers and beyond, reaching not only a large niche but also the average viewer. I think the fly on the wall approach in both series will appeal to many. A very promising third co-production is already under discussion.”
