MANILA – British-Australian Trevor Morgan has been named as the head coach of the United City Football Club, which took over the franchise of defending Philippines Football League champion Ceres-Negros FC.
Morgan, who most recently headed the Bhutan National Team that won a number of silverware in the Indian Super League, said he looks forward to handling the United City FC.
“I cannot wait to get onto the training field with the players and look forward to working with a group of high-quality players and staff,” said Morgan, who is also a decorated football manager.
“I have been given a wonderful opportunity to help take an already very successful team to the next level, and I will give everything I have to help improve our team and to further establish Philippine Football as a force to be reckoned with in Asia,” he added.
Trevor served as head coach for Sorrento Soccer Club in Western Australia and was also tapped to mentor Sengkang Punggol FC in Singapore in the Singtel League Cup. He also served as assistant coach for Hull City FC in the English Premiere League.
As a football player, he appeared in over 400 League and Cup games in the United Kingdom (UK), whilst scoring over two 200 goals, plying his trade from 1980-1994.
“His exposure to various leagues has prepared him very well for his new role as the head coach of United City Football Club, which suits very well the ambition that this club has,” said United City FC co-founder Eric Gottschalk.
“We are excited and proud to have him. Trevor will bring the necessary experience onto the pitch,” he added. “We have high ambitions for the local league and the AFC Cup and we believe Trevor is the right coach since he is no stranger to Asian football.”/PN
