What are people saying about Coach Merola?
“It has been great to see Tony's pathway take him from Wrexham FC to the US. I got to witness his work last year in the NPSL on the training ground and on matchday. His passion for the game and compassion for his players shone through. I wish him well into this new venture and I wish him every success.”
“Whilst playing ECNL under Coach Merola he helped me develop my game as an offensive minded player which helped open up pathways for me to play in England. The knowledge he has of the game and experience of working with all kinds players makes him an excellent coach that anyone would be lucky to play for.”
“Coach Tony was such a positive influence on my son and his team. At the beginning of the season they looked like they were 1 level above bumble bee soccer but by the end of the season were using the entire field and playing positions properly. He connected with the kids through their passion for soccer and helped them continue to love the sport.”
“Myself and Tony have know each other since our Wrexham Football Club days. Tony has a rich history of developing many youngsters which have gone on to be professional footballers. He understands the technical needs of players which provides the platform for them to flourish in the future.”
“I have know Tony for many years and during this time seen him excel as a coach, leveraging his extensive expertise from his professional playing days. Exceptional in his ability to connect with players, he skillfully fosters their development both technically and tactically.”
“In addition to improvements in his technical skills, our son's football IQ has flourished since he started working with Coach Merola. He's not only a smarter player, he's having more fun on the pitch.”
