What are people saying about Coach Merola?
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
