Jersey FA has appointed two new managers to lead the island's youth teams to victory.

Steve Coutanche has been chosen to coach the Under 18s Boys Team.

The sporting body say he brings a 'wealth of experience' and 'proven track record of helping young talent transition into senior football'. 

He is also coaching the same age group this season with the Jersey Bulls Academy.

The new manager will take over for the U18s match next Tuesday (4 February) against Northern Ireland Schoolboys. Coutanche's first Muratti fixture will be at home to Guernsey on 6 April. 

Meanwhile, Luca Caviglione will take over Jersey's Under 16s Boys Team. 

The familiar face in the island football community currently coaches St Lawrence's U16s side. He is also the club's Academy Director. 

Caviglione's first game will be Guernsey at home on 30 March.

Tim Pryor, Jersey FA's Chief Executive, said on the new appointments:

"Steve and Luca are top additions to our representative set-up. Their knowledge, experience and passion for the game will be invaluable as these age-groups prepare for the fixtures ahead in the second half of the season."
