Participants in the upcoming JFF/Advanced Level II Coaching course will benefit from the instruction of experienced UEFA coaching instructor Stephen Constantine.

Two courses will be held — June 24 to July 5 and July 1-12, and coaches at the Manning and DaCosta Cup levels are expected to be the main beneficiaries since people must have Advanced Level II certification in order to coach at that level in September of this year.

Stephen Constantine is described as an ambitious and highly motivated and results-driven coach who has practised his craft across four continents and has evolved into one of the most internationally recognised coaches around.

A UEFA Pro Licence Holder & FIFA Instructor, Constantine has for the last 20 years coached at all levels around the globe. Taking on some of the most difficult challenges in world football, his dedication to the game and to helping others has been well documented.

In 2011 Constantine was voted as manager/coach of the year for all British managers working abroad.

Constantine’s two spells in Africa as national team coach of Malawi and Sudan, respectively, laid down the foundation for both countries to go on and qualify for the African Cup of Nations. His energy, enthusiasm and ability to adapt to his surroundings are well known, as both players and colleagues can attest to.

Dedicated to self-improvement as a means of maximising the development and performances of both his teams and players, he has consistently achieved exceptional results in some of the world’s most diverse and challenging football environments.

Constantine, who is also a FIFA coaching instructor, has been with FIFA now for 13 years conducting coaching education courses all over the world.

Coaches interested in the course and who are Advanced Level I certified can contact the JFF for further information. The course is held under the auspices of the JMMB/JFF/UTech Coaching School.
