Created to give both sides more freedom

The extraordinary pace of padel's growth has exposed a fragmented market for connecting clubs and coaches. Clubs can struggle to access the right international talent, while coaches have limited visibility of where their experience could take them next.

Built from within the sport

Manakin is an extension of the work we have already been doing across the global padel ecosystem. Through Global Padel Hub and SET, we have built relationships with clubs, coaches, and operators across multiple markets.

A network of trusted connections

Our network is more than a directory of names. Behind the profiles are people and relationships built through years of working within the sport. Manakin makes those connections accessible to the wider padel community, creating a more direct way for clubs and coaches to find one another.

Our commitment

At Manakin, we are committed to facilitating a stronger coaching talent market. As the sport continues to cross borders, we believe its talent market should have the freedom to do the same.

By making international coaching opportunities more accessible and giving clubs greater choice in how they hire, we aim to support the development of stronger coaching communities and a more sustainable future for the sport.
