Football Coaching for All Levels by an Experienced Sports Scientist and Elite Coach in Manchester

Hi, I'm Antonio, a dedicated football coach and sports scientist based in Manchester. I currently work as the U14s Co-Lead Coach at Rochdale AFC and I am completing my MSc in Football Coaching & Analysis at UCFB. My coaching journey has taken me through elite academy environments, including my time as the U18 Head Coach and Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Millwall FC Girls Academy, where I led the squad to become JPL National Champions and London Cup winners. I also hold a First-Class Honours degree in Sports Science and a Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification. How I work: My coaching philosophy bridges the gap between elite sports science and on-pitch football performance. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I utilise evidence-based methodologies and periodised athletic conditioning to maximise your specific potential. Whether you are a youth player aiming for academy trials or a senior player looking to elevate your match fitness, I design structured programmes tailored entirely to your individual needs and goals. What you can expect from me: When you train with me, you can expect highly professional, challenging, and meticulously planned sessions that cover technical mastery, tactical awareness, and physical conditioning. We will start by creating a bespoke Individual Development Plan (IDP) to track your long-term progression and set clear benchmarks. I blend on-the-ball practices with high-intensity athletic development to ensure you become a robust, intelligent, and technically sound player. Ultimately, I am committed to providing a positive, motivating environment where you are constantly supported in breaking through your limits to elevate your overall game.
