Perth Glory is delighted to confirm that Alexander Epakis has been appointed as the club’s new Westfield W-League Head Coach.
Epakis has established an impressive reputation in women’s football having guided Sydney University to three consecutive NPL Premierships in the past three seasons and worked as a Senior Assistant Coach at Canberra United.
He was also a Head Coach within Sydney FC’s Academy between 2015 and 2017 and holds both an A-Licence and a Master’s Degree in Sports Coaching.
Epakis is excited by the opportunity to work with a Glory squad which is set to be packed with talented young WA players this season.
“We want to build a culture and environment that we are all proud of,” he said.
“It needs to be based on core outcomes that give us the best opportunity to develop as a team and be competitive in each match.
“A commitment to weekly improvement and working towards a style of play and process are important pieces in what I would like us to achieve as a team.”
Glory CEO Tony Pignata is confident that Epakis is the man to drive the club’s Westfield W-League side forward.
“Alex definitely has the range of experience, knowledge and passion required to be a successful W-League Head Coach,” he said.
“He is an outstanding coach and individual who will leave no stone unturned in his efforts to ensure that we have a strong, motivated and competitive W-League team this season.
“We will be fielding a young, hungry squad with a strong WA flavour this year and I would urge all our Members and fans to get along to the games and get right behind them.”
The Westfield W-League 2020/21 Season fixtures are scheduled to be released later this month and Glory W-League Memberships are expected to be available shortly afterwards.
Further announcements regarding Glory’s playing squad for the Westfield W-League 2020/21 Season will also be made shortly.
