Noun

2. agent of an artist or sportsperson (male or of unspecified sex, sometimes female)

   Synonym: (more common for sportspeople) Agent

Usage notes

• The word is used in a narrower sense in German than it is in English. Generally, it refers to a member of the management of a company or profit-oriented organization, usually one of larger size. Due to this use, German Manager may have a negative connotation, particularly in Socialist or left-wing contexts.
