Biography

Mariela Nisotaki joined Norwich City in 2017 as a first-team analyst after spells with Swansea City and Greek side Atromitos. Highly rated, she was promoted to the position of lead scout before becoming Head of Emerging Talent on on 21st October 2021. Working closely with new Head of Recruitment Lee Dunn and sporting director Stuart Webber, the 31-year-old will be tasked with identifying and monitoring the best talent in the 17 to 21-year-old age range, in the UK, Europe and beyond.

Having been keen on playing sport as a youngster, enjoying football and basketball in particular, Nisotaki started to realise she had a knack for sporting statistics which could allow her to pursue a career in a team sport - with computer games such as Football Manager feeding her habit, as with so many who go on to be analysts. After completing a masters degree in performance analysis at Cardiff Metropolitan University the opportunity to work in professional football arrived after graduating in 2015, at Swansea working as first team performance analyst while the South Wales club were in the Premier League, under Garry Monk initially and then Francesco Guidolin.

That season brought a mix of opposition scouting and data collection from other leagues, as the Swans looked to modernise their scouting systems, and was followed by a few months as a first team match analyst back home in Greece, with top-flight club Atromitos Athens.
