Naxxar Victorians appoint Connor Muchmore as head coach

The Naxxar Victorians are proud to confirm that we have appointed former player, and assistant coach, Connor Muchmore as our new head coach for the coming season in the Malta Amateur Football Association (MAFA) Division two.

Muchmore, a former striker for the club, had hung up his boots due to injury. However, had stayed at the club to assist former head coach Frans Spiteri for the 2019-20 season. He now returns as the team’s mentor as the club aims for a better finish in the 2022-23 season.

Commitment

Muchmore conducted his first sessions with the club, with the official preseason kicking off this week. Speaking to www.naxxarvictorians.com, Muchmore said he was excited to get involved with the club yet again.

“I’m happy to take on the offer from the Victorians Committee as Head Coach after initial discussions, I’m excited to get involved at a different level since retiring as a player, and obviously due to the previous experiences as player and assistant it felt like a great place to start this path,” Muchmore said.

Asked about his goals for the season, the new Victorians coach emphasized the commitment he wishes to see from his players.

“As a club, we should always aim as high as we can, we as a club want promotion but we also need to follow the processes put in place,” he explained.

“If we work hard and hit the targets I’m putting into place step by step the goals will be reached.

“The season is a marathon not a sprint at the end of the day. So far, I’m pleased with the massive increase in commitment and effort from the players after a disappointing season last year. As long as they’re all on board then we’ll move in the right direction together.

“I have experience with a number of the players, and with the new recruits getting involved I have no doubt they can reach the expectation levels that I have.”

From the Naxxar Victorians and www.naxxarvictorians.com team, we wish Connor Muchmore all the best for the coming season!
