Meet our head Coach
At Azul FC, we prioritize more than just winning games.
We are a family orientated and inclusive football club that helps our players grow mentally and physically and we believe in nurturing their holistic development, shaping them into exceptional athletes and human beings.
We are methodical in our approach and I’m certainly a massive believer in quality over quantity, this is why you will see us cap numbers of players to make sure the player to coach ratio is always beneficial for the player, so they are able to get maximum attention from our highly qualified coaching team.
I’m really excited to work with the players, creating an environment where they can flourish and become decision makers on and off the pitch.
Liam Hughes
Head of Football
