  • The Mazenod Old Collegians Football Club wishes to advise today that Dylan Cousins will not be continuing on as coach for the 2021 season. Following the annual football review, Dylan and the club have mutually agreed to part ways with Dylan opting to pursue other senior coaching opportunities in 2021. As a result the club will shortly begin the search for a senior coach for next season. MOCFC is extremely grateful to Dylan for the energy, passion and football knowledge he has brought to the club over the past two years. In particular, we are extremely grateful for the commitment and adaptability Dylan has shown this year during extremely difficult and unprecedented circumstances. Coaches do not expect to be managing a team through an epidemic and the on-off nature of the season has been extremely challenging, however Dylan has worked hard throughout to prepare our players and team in constantly evolving circumstances. We’d like to thank Dylan for his time with the club. We believe he leaves our club with us strongly positioned for the future and we wish him all the best in his future coaching endeavours.
