FCNW is pleased to announce the hiring of Giuseppe Cristaldi to its soccer club.
Giuseppe will be joining the club, starting June 8, 2020 in the role as Technical Director for our programs. In his new role, Giuseppe will have the unique opportunity to positively impact our players and coaches through their development with the club starting at a young age all the way through to our Senior teams.
Upon completing his contractual commitment as the Senior Team Head Coach of Msida St. Joseph in Malta, Giuseppe will be in charge of Matabeleland National Team from Africa, serving as a Head Coach, for the CONIFA World Cup 2020 which will take place in North Macedonia in May 2020.
Giuseppe’s current role and vast experience has prepared him well for the exciting challenge ahead with FCNW. He has spent time coaching 2 Premier League sides, Sliema Wanderers FC (U20 team) and Gzira United FC, taking on key roles in their Academy programs and Senior team development, up to and including preparation for UEFA Europa League qualifications.
He has also worked with Italian Serie A sides Ascoli FC as a Scout and Coach Selector, and Empoli FC as a Coach Educator at the Empoli International Coaching Course.
Coupled with his experience in Europe, Giuseppe has worked in North America with the Thunder Bay Chill as their Head Coach for their youth teams and in Seattle as a Technical Director for a local American club.
Giuseppe holds his UEFA B License from FIGC, the Italian Soccer Federation and is currently studying for the PRO License with the CONMEBOL (South American Confederation). He also holds the Tactical Match Analyst License and the FIGC PRO Scouting License for Serie A and B Teams.
As a real student of the game, Giuseppe completed his thesis’ degree in Sports Management on José Mourinho’s methodology and his revolutionary methods, explaining why he could be the coach that might bring back the Champions League to FC Inter. How fitting that after discussing his thesis in May 2010 Inter won the Champions League!
The FCNW Board of Directors is pleased to have Mr. Cristaldi as part of their Technical Team. Our club’s vision is to provide leadership and opportunity through quality soccer programming for the community, using a progressive approach that inspires all members to achieve their goals. We are confident that with the addition of Giuseppe to the team, we will see continued growth and development with the vision that FCNW will be the club of choice for soccer in Canada.
