The post season changes continue at Avalon Airport Oval with Football Manager Mark Micallef announcing his decision to take up a new opportunity and challenge in the education field.

In his three years in the job, Mark has worked closely and successfully with all staff and volunteers to grow and build the foundation that is the heartbeat of the football club.

Looking back, Micallef says “The fabric of this club wasn’t broken. I have had great people around me the whole time who all have bought into what the club is trying to achieve. Helping them make a contribution to our progression has been very satisfying, culminating in the on-field success we all achieved this season.” 

CEO Mark Penaluna is full of praise for the work of Micallef:

“Mark has shown great leadership, an incredible work ethic and a team ethos that has gelled the entire football department to be the most cohesive I have seen in my time, which is a great testament to his professional skills. He has left big shoes to fill.” 

The position of Football Manager will be advertised soon.
