Piero Mastroeni Under 10s A

About the coach: Piero played football in Italy as center and right back during his school and University years and continued to play at Cambridge University after moving to the UK. Known as "the bulldozzer" he probably has the largest collection of yellow cards in the game, but no reds! Piero received his FA Coaching Badge in March 2007.

What IS he up to? Apart from coaching the Under 10s, he enjoys quieter sports, such as fishing, and wobbling about the pitch in friendly games with work colleagues and Coton Veterans.   

Favourite Coach: Marcello Lippi. He managed Italy to win the World Cup by creating the perfect team spirit and getting the most out of each player.

Adam Sheldrick Under 10s A

About the coach: Adam enjoyed a varied career in youth football playing from the age of 6 with various local teams. He played his best football as a goalkeeper at the age of 12 which led to trials with Norwich City and Spurs. Unfortunately knee problems have restricted his appearances in the last few years, but at least this gives him more time in which to develop Coton's rising stars (hmm). He completed his FA Coaching Badge in December 2005.

What IS he up to? Currently Under 10s coach, in his spare time he's a retail floor manager. His colleagues benefit from his extensive management skills on a daily basis (more hmmms).

Favourite coach. Claudio Ranieri. The Tinkerman brings out the best of everyone that plays for him, regardless of ability. His use of rotation builds squad rather than team spirit. He was unlucky not to steer Chelsea to the title in 2004/5.
