We welcome Tony Ivanov to Gisborne SC who takes up the role of Head Coach for the Senior Womens squad.
Tony brings with him a wealth of football experience as a player, head coach and coaching director. He currently holds a Football Australia Senior Licence and formerly held a UEFA Pro Licence.
New Senior Womens coach Tony Ivanov (L) with Assistant Coach Jamie Ivanov.
The former goalkeeper has coaching experience around many clubs in Melbourne’s west including Sydenham Park, Brimbank Stallions, Moreland United, LaTrobe Uni, and Altona Magic. He has also spent time at Preston lions in Youth development.
Tony will be joined by his son Jamie who has taken up the role of Assistant Coach for our Womens Squad.
We bid farewell to our Seniors Mens coach Danny Moore.
Danny joined us midway through 2019 when wins were few and far between. The change in atmosphere around the club was immediately noticeable. Performances on field slowly improved, albeit without the results reflecting this.
Thee was a memorable performance and win against the eventual league winners late in the season, giving a sure sign the tide was starting to turn and better days were ahead.
With 2020 being completely cancelled we hit the ground running in 2021 after what felt like 47 pre-seasons. By the time the stop-start 2021 season was called off, we were sitting 5th in the league having won half our games.
Season 2022 became our best year on record as we notched up 14 wins (+ another in the Cup) to finish in 4th place with 45 points. We finished undefeated against the top side drawing both games, and doing the double over then 2nd placed side.
We'd like to thank Danny for his hard work, professionalism, passion, energy and attention to detail over the past 3 and a half years. You came to us at an extremely challenging time for the club and then endured 2 pandemic ruined seasons, to say you leave us in better shape is a massive understatement.
#ThanksGaff and all the best for your next chapter
