Speaker Ken Schembri Head of Football Central Coast Mariners

Ken Schembri built a football empire in Blacktown City over 30 years,  this week we had the pleasure of having Ken share his experiences with coming to the Central Coast from Western Sydney.

Ken was invited to the Central Coast Mariners in 2014 when the owner saw a need for a youth academy to grow local talent here on the Central Coast. The Central Coast Football Academy was born and a Centre of Excellence was started in Tuggerah.

Ken has been at the forefront of youth football since, with the culmination at this world cup with 3 players from the Mariners in the World cup squad. With Garang Koul coming through the academy under Ken's guidance. Garang is the business of Football, That is produce outstanding players to sell on to the world stage.

Ken has recently retired from the position at the mariners, but when your work is your life's passion, Its hard to stay away from the calls and is already consulting many things Football. I can certainly see a few speaking gigs coming up for Ken to keep him busy.

Thanks Ken for sharing your morning with us.
