The post season changes continue at Chirnside Park with Werribee Victorian Football League football manager Mark Micallef announcing his decision to take up a new opportunity and challenge. In his three years in the job, Micallef has worked closely and successfully with all staff and volunteers to grow and build the foundation that is the heartbeat of the football club. Looking back, Micallef said to Werribee FC: “the fabric of this club wasn’t broken. I have had great people around me the whole time who all have bought into what the club is trying to achieve. Helping them make a contribution to our progression has been very satisfying, culminating in the on-field success we all achieved this season.” Werribee chief executive Mark Penaluna said he is full of praise for the work of Micallef. “Mark has shown great leadership, an incredible work ethic and a team ethos that has gelled the entire football department to be the most cohesive I have seen in my time, which is a great testament to his professional skills. He has left big shoes to fill,” Penaluna said.
