Coaches’ Profile

Alex Delia
Commenced his coaching career in 1995 with Mosta F.C. Youth Academy. For the past ten years he has been in charge of various age groups within the same club, teaching players of all ages and abilities. This was only interrupted by a brief stint with another local football nursery, namely Sliema Wanderers, where he was engaged for six months. During these years, Alex attended a couple of Malta Football Association coaching courses and presently holds a Club Coach Certificate License. He has also been a member of the International Coaches Association since 2004 and a holder of the Bronze Coaching License issued by the same association. Alex has had the opportunity to be invited to attend the “Stage Estivo Inter Campus 2004” by the renowned Italian Club Internazionale F.C., where several youth coaches from around the globe together with youth Italian coaches from Internazionale F.C. meet to discuss and run a month long training camp for children aged 7 to 16 years.
Together with his friend and colleague Carl Attard, Alex realized his dream to open and run a Football School in September 2005. His efforts and passion for the game were further rewarded last year when he was given the opportunity to coach Mosta F.C.’s second most important team, the Under 18. Alex was appointed Mosta F.C. senior team coach the following season.
