Whittlesea Ranges has locked in its coaching panel for the National Premier League 3 season.

Alfredo Costantino remains in the head coach’s seat after a tough 2021 with the team.

Costantino had an extensive coaching background before joining the Ranges and played professionally in Italy for more than 13 years.

“‭‭‭‭‭‭As you can see, Alfredo has experience over a number of different areas, that will strengthen our senior squad moving forward into season 2022.‬‬‬‬‬,” the Ranges said on a Facebook post.

“‭‭‭‭‭‭Alfredo has cultivated and worked with young emerging players, such as Socceroo and Melbourne City Striker Mathew Leckie and sees Whittlesea Ranges FC as the perfect nursery for footballing talent, not only because of our emphasis on pathway development, but also our fortunate position of having first class facilities.‬‬‬‬‬‬”

Joseph Polazzon will be the team manager and Nikki Costantino is the side’s strength and conditioning coach.

The Ranges were sitting 10th last season when the season was called off due to the pandemic.

They will kick off this season’s NPL3 season on March 19 against Melbourne Victory.
