Ronnie Foden, the seven-year-old son of Manchester City footballer Phil Foden, is reportedly seeking a brand and social media manager. The role, which offers a salary of approximately £50,000 per year, aims to capitalize on the child's significant online popularity. Ronnie has amassed nearly four million followers on Instagram.
His parents, Phil Foden and Rebecca Cooke, manage his social media accounts. They initially created an Instagram profile for him three years ago after a video of him went viral. The clip showed Ronnie singing along to a song on his father's shoulders after Manchester City's Champions League win. "I couldn't believe it. Every comment on my social media page was asking to see him," Phil Foden stated. "So I thought I'd give the fans what they wanted and create an account for him and it just blew up."
Ronnie has already secured several brand partnerships, including one with the clothing brand Flannels at the end of 2023. He has also collaborated with clothing brands Little Bird and The Couture Club. His parents have expanded his online presence to include a TikTok account with 750,000 followers and a YouTube channel.
In addition to Ronnie's accounts, his parents manage an Instagram profile for their five-year-old daughter, True, which has garnered 48,000 followers. These accounts feature photos of her in designer clothing and accessories. However, Ronnie will not be able to take direct control of his accounts due to UK regulations, which impose a social media ban for individuals under 16.
