We’re excited to confirm Chris Marino will lead our Championship 1 team in 2026 and serve as our Senior Technical Director.
Chris brings over a decade of coaching experience, holds a Football Australia B Licence, has trialled with Arsenal and Aston Villa, and has represented Tasmania at both junior and senior levels.
His appointment supports the club’s focus on building a more structured and connected Senior Program, unifying our Championship, Championship 1, and Under 18 teams under one coaching framework. Chris is looking forward to driving this direction alongside our senior coaching group.
We look forward to the positive impact this will have across our senior pathway in 2026.
All current and prospective players are invited to meet Chris on Saturday 6 December, 2pm at Sandown.
Interested players are encouraged to complete an expression of interest form here: https://hobartcityfc.com/eoi/ ahead of the start of pre-season training on Tuesday 9 December.
