Temecula’s professional soccer team, the Temecula Football Club, is delighted to announce the appointment of Ignacio Gachuzo as their men’s First Team Manager, which will take place until June 2023, with the option to extend for a further year. Ignacio’s first move was adding Alan Jimenez to his coaching staff. Alan has been coaching the Temecula FC youth for two years now and has spent time with the first team in training a year ago.
During the past seven years at Temecula, Gachuzo has proven himself to be one of the most committed and successful coaches in the club, renowned for his team’s spirit, attacking football and commitment to the youth.
“In my conversations with Ignacio leading up to this appointment, I was deeply impressed with his long-term vision of getting Temecula FC to the professional level we want to be competing at,” Temecula FC owner Brandon Jantz said. “His drive and determination to achieve success shines through recruitment and building our youth teams from local players. We wish Ignacio the best of luck as he focuses on achieving a successful start to the Raul Briones Cup in December and the SWPL season this spring.”
Gachuzo said that some of the most educational tools that he is equipped with have come through football (soccer), “I am thrilled with the trust that Club Owner Brandon Jantz has shown in me by appointing me First Team Manager. I am prepared to do everything possible to gain the trust of the players, investors, club staff and most important the supporters. I look forward to preparing the best possible squad for the upcoming Raul Briones Cup in the SWPL. Bring your scarves, bring your noise makers, bring your families and we’ll give you a show! Come on you Quails!!!”
“Loving this sport as much as he does and being part of this club now, I just have to thank club owner Brandon Jantz for this opportunity, and now first team coach Ignacio Gachuzo for including me in his team and giving me his trust,” Jimenez said. “From here, we have to work even harder to form a united team, but above all, a family together with the fans, the club’s youth academy, the families of our community, the investors and everyone who joins this great club!”
