After an extensive interview process where a number of high quality individuals were interviewed, the Marcellin Old Collegians Football Club has announced the appointment of Damien Theisz as senior coach for the 2015 season.
Club President Tim Money said the appointment of Damien will certainly place the Eagles in a good position to push further up through the sections.
“The last couple of seasons whilst we have been building in the right direction, we have been unable to take the next step and achieve success in finals. I believe Damien has the passion and conviction to take the club to Premier B & beyond and with his appointment the club enters a very new and exciting period. No one embodies the Marcellin spirit more than Damien and his appointment is a step in getting our club back to where it belongs.”
Damien, also known to many as ‘DT’, is a Marcellin Life Member having played over 200 games between 1996-2009 in the maroon and blue.
He has been involved in various capacities at Marcellin dating back to the early 1980s.
“He has been involved at the Club for over 30 years and is a true Marcellin person” Money said.
Most recently at Marcellin, Damien served as Vice President from 2007-2009, along with coaching their Reserves in 2011.
