With an extensive background in youth and junior development, Tony Olivera’s appointment as Head Coach of Wanderers provides a real fillip for a club focused on success through community development.

Olivera also brings a wealth of knowledge at the NPL level in Canberra with previous stints at TUFC, BUFC, Canberra Olympic and Woden Valley FC. Indeed, as an ex Woden Valley coach and Weston Molonglo FC player, Olivera is well placed to understand the nuances of Wanderers and supporting community clubs.

In returning to his spiritual football home, Mr Olivera said ‘I am delighted to take on the role of Wanderers 1st Grade Coach with a remit to build a professional and competitive PL program through leveraging our talented youth and community based players.’ Olivera is joined by long time assistant Alex Redmond providing the young Wanderers a real chance to make a mark in 2017.
