Fran Alonso

I am a UEFA Pro Licence Head Coach with more than 15 years of experience at the highest levels of men’s and women’s football. My career includes roles as First Team Technical Coach at Southampton FC under Mauricio Pochettino and Ronald Koeman, Assistant Coach at Everton FC in the Premier League, and Head Coach of Celtic FC Women, where we won back-to-back Scottish Cups, the Scottish Premier League Cup and achieved historic UEFA Women’s Champions League qualifications with an 80.7% win rate across 140 matches. I have also coached in the NWSL with Houston Dash and most recently led Dépor Abanca in Spain’s Liga F.

All my sessions are delivered online via Zoom and are completely tailored to the individual player. Whether you are an academy player looking to earn a professional contract, a talented teenager aiming for a scholarship, or an adult player wanting to reach a higher standard, every lesson is designed around your specific goals, position and current level.

A typical session begins with a short discussion or video review so I can understand exactly what you want to improve. We then work on high-quality technical execution under pressure, tactical understanding, decision-making in realistic game situations, and the mental habits that separate good players from professional ones. I place strong emphasis on intensity, attention to detail, body language and recovery between actions — the same standards I demanded at Premier League and top women’s clubs.

You will always leave the session with clear, practical take-home actions so you know precisely what to practise. When useful, I also provide simple video feedback after the session to reinforce learning.

I only work with motivated players who are serious about improving and have genuine ambition. My goal is not just to deliver a good training session, but to help you close the gap between where you are now and the professional level you want to reach.
