What are people saying about Coach Merola?
“Tony's coaching philosophy goes beyond the pitch, creating an environment that fosters not only technical prowess but also instills values such as teamwork, discipline, and a genuine love for the game. It's evident that he nurtures individual players with a deep understanding of the game.”
“I have known Tony 30 years since our days together at Wrexham Football Club. Even then he displayed a deep knowledge of the game and there was never any doubt he would go on to be a top coach. I would have no hesitation recommending Tony to anybody who was thinking about the development of their child.”
“Tony Merola coached my son and with his positive coaching style and leadership, he re-built my son's confidence and restored his love of the game. His ability to connect with individuals with his passion for the game is hard to find.”
“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.”
“Having known Tony for 35 years through footbalI, family and work, I can honestly say his passion for life and our beautiful game is second to none. Seeing him continue to coach in the game after his playing days shows his passion for the game and I was pleased to see him achieve his UEFA A licence through the Welsh FA and take that learning over to the United States. I had no doubt that Tony would go on to be a top coach and would recommend him to anyone who wants to develop within the game.”
“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.”
