Prince Alfred Old Collegians Soccer Club is thrilled to announce the appointment of Peter Chesini as the club’s 2027 Senior Coach.

Peter - or ‘Peachy’ as he is known - steps up from his role as B-Grade Coach and A-Grade assistant this season.

He has been a long-standing member of the PAOCSC family for many years, serving as a player, volunteer, assistant coach and now senior coach.

He will be supported by Tony Scalzi and Josh Bushell.

Peter said he was honoured to take the reins at PAOCSC.

“This is a club that has given me so much, not only as a player, but as a person,” he said.

“The club has given me the opportunity to grow and continue my football journey, and I’m incredibly grateful for the trust that has been placed in me.

“I hope to repay that trust by giving everything I can to the players, the club and everyone involved, and by helping us achieve success both on and off the field.

“It’s been pretty special to watch this club evolve during my time here.

“I’ve seen the highs, the challenges, the growth and everything in between.

“A big thank you to Spiro for his support, guidance and commitment over the years, and for helping lay such a strong foundation.

“I’m proud to be stepping into this role and together with the support of Tony and Josh I’m confident we will build on the strong foundation and keep the club moving forward.

“I’m excited for what lies ahead and can’t wait to get to work!”

PAOCSC President Spiro Karanikos-Mimis said the Board had no hesitation appointing Peter once he expressed an interest in the position.

“Peter loves this club, is an excellent coach and most importantly someone we believe can guide and nurture our players,” he said.

“His work this year was exemplary; during training, at games and around the club in general.

“He is hard-working, knows our game well and we know his appointment will benefit not just the A-Grade but the club as a whole.”

Congratulations Peter!

CLUB UPDATE | A-Grade Coach

Prince Alfred Old Collegians Soccer Club advises Senior Coach Spiro Karanikos-Mimis has informed the club of his decision to step-down from the role.

Since joining the Club as Senior Coach in 2022, Spiro has helped our footballing program grow significantly.

Speaking about his decision to step-down, Spiro explained it was one of the hardest decisions he has had to make in his time in football.

"I have loved every minute of coaching the A-Grade but I have a young family who are starting their own football journey and that requires more of my attention," he said.

"With this in mind, and with our Club in a healthy position on the field, it seemed right time to step away and for someone new to lead the excellent group of people we have at PAOCSC.

"It has been an absolute honour and privilege to lead this group - not just because they are all talented footballers but because they are excellent humans."

Spiro won't be lost to PAOCSC and has advised the Club he is happy to remain in an administrative capacity.

"The Club's Board has been a pleasure to work with," he explained.

"We have such a dynamic and diverse group, all with our own opinions and ideas and that leads to great decision making which we are seeing come to fruition at PAOCSC.

"I'm looking forward to continuing our work together."

A new PAOCSC coaching team will be announced in the near future.
