Jake Agius named Naxxar Victorians interim coach

Aguis to replace Muchmore in charge of team

Naxxar Victorians FC would like to announce that Jake Agius will take over as the club’s interim head coach for the 2024-25 season in MAFA Division 3.

Agius, a former player at the club until the 2022/23 season, will be returning to lead the team in higher capacity, replacing former coach Connor Muchmore who stepped down at the end of the 2023/24 season.

Muchmore, who led the team for the past two seasons, officially left his post on the final day of the Division 3 campaign which saw the team finish fourth. The English coach oversaw the team during a transitional period as the club was introduced to a new crop of players which will now be the basis of the coming seasons.

“Today ends my time coaching Naxxar Victorians, with a 1-1 draw with Hal-far Titans,” Muchmore had said in a statement on his socials.

“I was always taught to do whatever I’m doing with 100% commitment, and due to other obligations I’m no longer able to manage that so it’s time to take a step back, I’d like to thank all my players both past and present, my assistant coach Antoine Farrugia, and the committee for trusting me to come in and do a job! It’s been quite a ride, but I’ll always be here to support the club! Let’s see what comes next!”

New coach Agius will take over immediately as the team begins preseason training this month.

From the Naxxar Victorians and www.naxxarvictorians.com teams, we would like to extend our appreciation to Muchmore, while wishing Agius all the best for the coming season in charge of Naxxar Victorians.
