Top 10 Football Academies in the world

Nowadays almost every football club is looking to fast track their youth into the first team but there are some clubs who have been doing that very thing for generations. Here is a list of the top football academies in the world.

#10 Crewe Alexandra

Crewe Alexandra is another respectable football academy that is often dropped from such lists due to their lack of success. The Railwaymen have produced a lot of successful players that have gone on to become successful England internationals.

The Academy excessively focuses on training their player in technical football with great importance given to passing techniques. The current direct of Crewe is their former manager Dario Gardi who has been associated with the club for years.

Crewe has rarely played in the top division of English football but acts as an important feeder club to many great English teams, most notably Manchester United.

Successful Graduates: Nick Powell, Neil Lennon, Danny Murphy, David Platt, Robbie Savage.
