Post-playing career

edit

Dobraje became an agent in 1986, while simultaneously playing football.[1] Based in Troyes, he notably rubbed elbows with Bernard Tapie when he was the president of Marseille.[1] Dobraje went on to become the agent of over 200 players, notably including François Brisson, Robert Pires, Bixente Lizarazu, and Stéphane Guivarc'h; he also became the agent of managers Rudi Garcia, Alain Perrin, Guy Stéphan, and Jean-Marc Furlan.[2] In 2000, after having negotiated the transfer of Pires from Marseille to Arsenal, Dobraje was the subject of threats from several people who wanted a part of his agent fee that he made from the transfer.[3]

In March 2009, Dobraje became the sporting director of Dijon.[4] He left this role in November for personal reasons.[5]
