Marconi Stallions appoint Valerio Silvestro as 2027 NPL Men’s Head Coach

Marconi Stallions FC have appointed Valerio Silvestro as the club’s NPL Men’s First Grade Head Coach for the 2027 season, ushering in a new chapter for the historic club.

Silvestro will take over from Peter Tsekenis, who is set to bring his 10-season tenure at the helm to a close following the club’s final Australia Championship fixture against Sydney Olympic at Marconi Stadium this Saturday.

The appointment marks a new era for the Stallions, with Silvestro bringing a strong focus on youth development and a commitment to maintaining the club’s proud history and traditions.

Silvestro joins Marconi following two seasons with Hurstville Zagreb FC, where he made an immediate impact after being appointed ahead of the 2025 League Two Men’s campaign.

He guided Hurstville Zagreb to the League Two Men’s premiership that season, finishing first with 70 points – 15 clear of their nearest challengers while also earning Coach of the Year honours.

Following the club’s promotion, Silvestro remained in charge for the 2026 Football NSW League One Men’s season.

The Stallions will now look towards the 2027 campaign under Silvestro’s leadership, as the club begins preparations for the next chapter in its NPL Men’s journey.
