Starting from pre-season; giving up two of their evenings a week to come and work and train with us! I think its safe to say they were as hungry for success this season as we ladies were! They work tirelessly every training session to ensure they get the best out of us girls!

They talk to us on how we can improve ourselves individually and as a team every single week! They made history by guiding us to the third qualifying round of the FA Cup where no team in Woodley united has done! I would also like to add how special they made the day.. putting on a minibus and laying out the changing room like we were real professionals. A memory that will stay with me for a lifetime!

They have also guided us to two semi-finals (Berks & Bucks and The League Cup) we honestly couldn’t have done it without them! Also we are still in the running for the league which is a huge improvement on last seasons 5th place.

I feel this really shows how much passion and efforts Marc and Nuno have put in throughout the season! Lastly I would just like to add that us girls really appreciate the amount of support, encouragement and time they give to us all! Grassroots football clubs are so lucky to have people like these two in their clubs and I am glad they chose to be a part of Woodley United Ladies.
