OUR TEAM
The Best Staff in the City
What makes our club, is our people. This starts with our Director of Football, Brendan O’Connell. With a whopping 451 league games and 79 goals under his belt at the highest level of the English game, Brendan has likely forgotten more about soccer, than most of us could ever know.
We have a varied group of coaches with diverse backgrounds, each bringing unique experiences to the game. Brendan has recruited a team that includes other former pros such as Kevin Francis (117 goals for Stockport County, UK), Coach Lama (2006 World Cup Angola National Team Goalkeeper) and Josie Astley (played professionally in Sweden having graduated University as a 1st Team All American). Calgary born staff members such as our Youth Program Manager, Bryan Zintel, have a deep understanding of the local soccer landscape and provide invaluable insight.
