Hi. some of you nonIslanders fans know that the club has a new coach. Hugo Maradona was replaced a few months ago by Sr. Jorge Alvial. Sr Alvial has taken over the head coaching duties. Since late July of last year he has held the title of Director os Soccer Opperations for the team as well.

In the brief time he has been Director of Soccer Operations, he has been the creative force in transforming the club from bottom dweller to competitive. It has been his numerous international and US player contacts that have been utilizeed to revamp the squad and provide the club with the oportunity to play international scrimmages and train in his native Chile. The Islanders ownership group has given him complete helm of player personnel and coaching decisions. With his consolidated powers he has now become the most important figure in the Islanders on the fiel performance.

It should be a very interesting season...

In a very rare occurence, this article on our club's official website is in English, so no translation or babblefish software needed.
