“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.”
“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.”

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.”
