New Town White Eagles Soccer Club today announced at Crowne Plaza Hobart, the appointment of Tommy Fotak as the Club’s 2021 Southern Championship senior mens coach.
Fotak will lead the Club into its 60th anniversary year alongside newly appointed senior assistant Adam Shackcloth.
A former White Eagles player, Fotak was most recently NPL coach at Hobart Zebras. He returns to football after an absence focused on family and the operation of a successful Tasmanian technology company.
White Eagles president Grant Nutting explained, “To have an individual of Tommy’s quality leading our Club into its 60th season is extremely exciting. Alongside his technical attributes, Tommy brings with him great character and his appointment is a significant step towards our club achieving great things in 2021 and beyond”.
Fotak said, “I am really excited by the opportunity to build on the work that Dreamer (Andrew Leszczynski) and the coaching staff have done over the past seven years. Performances on and off the field demonstrate this is a Club on the rise and that is a credit to Grant and the committee and everyone involved at Eagles.”
“I’m honoured to be trusted with the responsibility to lead this group and the Club in their anniversary year.”
“I can’t wait to get out on the track and get to work. I encourage anyone that wants to be part of the journey to come along and get involved however they can.”
Further coaching appointments and player signings are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Pre-season training will begin on Tuesday January 12th 2021.
