South Croydon Football Club have announced the extension of Marcus Buzaglo’s tenure as the Dogs Senior Men’s coach for the 2023 Season.
Buzaglo first took on the role during the 2021 pre-season following the departure of Luke McCormick and led the Bulldogs to a 6-4 record before the season was concluded early due to lockdowns, and is currently steering the 2017 Premiers to another top flight finals series, with the Dogs sitting 5th on the ladder with seven wins to their name.
Club President, Steve Duke said that the club has been impressed with the way Buzaglo has conducted himself in trying circumstances and look forward to seeing the relationship blossom in the future.
“In his relatively short time here, Marcus has truly embraced South Croydon, not just in the senior coaching role, but as an integral part of the whole club.
“He provides excellent leadership across the board and after a couple years of interruptions through COVID and now as a result of our redevelopment challenges, we feel Marcus fully deserves an uninterrupted run.
“An early decision on extending his tenure allows us to finish the season strongly, as well as looking forward to the future needs of the group.”
Buzaglo expressed his gratitude for the early decision from the South Croydon committee as he and his troops turn their attention towards another premiership tilt.
“I am extremely grateful that the club has seen fit to re appoint me for season 2023.
“It is a great honour to coach at this terrific community club and, after a couple of disrupted years and the difficulties encountered with the pavilion redevelopment this season, my focus now is squarely upon finishing this season strongly and ensuring the doggies are in a position to launch a bold challenge for this year’s flag.”
