The latest updates on what’s happening at NEFA
The final NEFA Coaches corner of the year is a real Christmas Cracker 🎅
We are delighted to be joined by Dan Micciche. Dan has had a stellar coaching career working for MK Dons as Assistant Academy Manager, Head Coach for the U15/16’s, Head of Coaching and heading up the first team.
He then spent over 4 years working for England as the National Technical Lead (U12-16s) and was Head coach for the U15/16’s. His next move was to Arsenal where he is the Under 18’s Head Coach.
Dan is a vastly knowledgeable and experienced player developer, and we are looking forward to another insightful Coaches Corner.
As usual there will be opportunities for attendees to ask questions directly to Dan.
We look forward to you joining us.⚽⚽⚽

NEFA Seniors have been drawn away at South Elmsall Services of the County Senior First Division in the Association Cup Quarter Finals.
The game will be played on Saturday 11th December.
So Wales have been drawn against Austria for their World Cup qualifier in March 2022 with a spot at the Qatar World Cup now tantalisingly close.
The North of England Football Academy Coaches Corner spoke with Interim manager, Rob Page just a week ago about all things player development, management, elite preparation and how Wales continue to impress and develop under his stewardship.
You can listen back NOW on the NEFA Coaches Corner podcast (where you also subscribe).
