Windsor & Eton F.C. Appoints New Manager

[Guest]

The board of directors are delighted to announce the following news release:

 

Chairman Peter Simpson enthusiastically announced today the appointment of

Simon Lane as the new Manager of Windsor & Eton F.C.

 

Simon’s appointment was finally agreed by the Board late yesterday evening, which marked the end of an exhaustive search and interview process that has taken place over the last month.

 

The club received in excess of 20 applications for the position, even though it was never formally advertised and Simon was finally chosen from a long list of exceptional candidates.

 

Simon who is 38 years old, comes to the club from AFC Wimbledon where he was Club Scout following a period as Manager of Berkhamstead Town.

 

Prior to this he was Youth Development Officer at Queens Park Rangers and Head Coach at Naxxar Lions F.C. in the Maltese Premier League, during which time he was the youngest serving Head Coach in European Premier League football.

 

He holds both the UEFA A Coaching Licence and the FA Advanced Licence Coaching Award – one of the highest awards that the FA can bestow.

 

Outside of football Simon holds a Senior Management position in Industry.

 

Chairman Peter Simpson commented:

 

‘Simon demonstrates an excellent mix of exceptional coaching qualifications and experience. We were also struck by the way that he manages himself as a person and by his highly evolved range of management skills.’
