Off The Pitch!

A podcast built around friendship, football, and real life beyond the spotlight. Olivier Bernard and Dang Vuong — two mates from completely different worlds — sit down for honest conversations about life on a level playing field. One experienced the highs and pressures of professional football, the other the everyday realities of normal family life. Now, both navigate the same challenges: fatherhood, work, identity, friendships, and finding purpose beyond titles and careers. From changing-room banter to real-world banter, the conversations blend humour, honesty, nostalgia, and relatable life experiences. Covering everything from day-to-day routines and hobbies to mental health, relationships, parenting, and the transition into everyday life. Featuring a mix of current and former footballers alongside guests from completely different walks of life — business owners, creatives, parents, entrepreneurs, and everyday people with real stories to tell — each episode offers authentic conversations, shared experiences, laughs, lessons, and different perspectives on what life is really about once the labels are stripped away
