Our Coaches

My name is Mourad and I founded PIFS back in 2015 when I realized there was a need for our Penang boys and girls to have a place where they could learn and enjoy the game of football. I have been playing football since my young age first in my country in France and then in Italy and Switzerland in amateur teams. Football is my passion and my aim with this school is to give back, contribute to our community and share what I have been taught not only as a Grassroots coach but also in life in general. I would like to express warm greetings and a hearty welcome to you on joining us as a PIFS member. As your child embarks on a very exciting program filled with new opportunities on education and life skills through football, it gives PIFS team a great pleasure to take part of your child development.

I'm Stephanie from Germany. I started to fell in love with football when I was seven years old but never made it into a team where I feel comfy as a girl until I was 16 and able to play for the lady's team. I coached and guided our schools team to the state championship, I played in the highest league of our state until I was 27 as a defender. I've learned the main thing about how much you can win if you play in a team. Beside my own career, I used to coach girls in the age from 5-13 and after I had some injuries I decided with age 27 to make my coaching licence c for adults to coach our lady's team quite successful. In my coaching lessons I'm giving skills and knowledge to understand the meaning of being in a team and the importance to grow your personal skills.

My name is Derek and I’ve been playing football for over 35 years. I have always been interested in self-improvement from a young age – I was reading books about passing technique at ten years old! Throughout my life, my football ability and leadership qualities have been recognized and I was made captain of several teams throughout my schooling and university days in Blackburn and Sheffield respectively. In Penang, I helped to revive the KDU College football team while working there as a lecturer, leading a mixture of local and international students to back to back Inter-College Games titles (2007, 2008). When I worked at The British Council as a teacher, I undertook two of their Premier League Skills courses in community coaching (2012) and refereeing (2011). In my coaching sessions, I allow players to have as much time on the ball as possible while practicing new skills. It is also important for young players to have fun - and learn the importance of sportsmanship!

I have been coaching primary and secondary students at Uplands International School on a Wednesday afternoon and look forward to passing on more of my experience to the players at PIFS.
