Kew Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of our Senior Women’s Head Coach for 2026 – Emanuele ‘Mannie’ Di Parsia!
Mannie joins the women’s program fresh off 2 seasons as the head coach of our under 19s, having been instrumental in building the program from the ground up, and taking his side to finals in both seasons, including a preliminary final in 2025.
Prior to his time at Kew FC, Mannie’s coaching resume has included time at Kew Comets, including being recognised as the 2023 YJFL Youth Boys Coach of the Year, Hawthorn Citizens, Xavier College, Yarra Magpies Academy and as coach of the YJFL U16 Championship team. During these years Mannie was also an active coach with Dynamic Footy Skills!
Mannie’s qualities have been on display for the past 2 years at KFC, and the entire club is thrilled to see him take over the Women’s Program and start the next exciting chapter for the senior team!
Congratulations Mannie, and bring on 2026!
