Andrew Weidinger’s career has been forged at the highest levels of football — from the meeting rooms of the NFL to the sidelines of Europe’s fastest-growing league. Known for his meticulous preparation and sharp offensive mind, Weidinger has worked with some of the greatest names in the game, including Tom Brady and Julio Jones. When he was unveiled as the first Head Coach of the Madrid Bravos for their 2025 debut in the European League of Football, it was clear the franchise wanted to start with a proven strategist. “Andrew is a coach who brings experience, discipline, and vision — the perfect fit for a new franchise,” the Bravos management declared. For Weidinger, it marked both a continuation of his NFL pedigree and the start of a groundbreaking European chapter.
