Darren Abdilla signs two-year contract extension at Gżira United

Gżira United have handed a new contract to coach Darren Abdilla who will remain at the helm of the Premier League club for another two seasons.

Abdilla has been at the helm of the Maroons for the past two seasons and the 2021-22 campaign was very challenging for the Maltese coach as he had to contend with a series of serious injuries to key players.

However, despite these difficulties Abdilla managed to steer the Maroons to fourth place in the Premier League which in the end earned them a place in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers this summer.

“We are excited that our Head Coach, Darren Abdilla signed an extension to stay with the Maroons until 2024,” the Premier League side said in a statement.

“The 42-year-old will lead our team for the third consecutive season.

“Under his leadership, the UEFA PRO licensed coach, the Club managed to always participate in European competitions.

“With more than 130 Premier league matches makes him one of the most experienced coaches in the league. His management skills, tactical intelligence and leadership makes him the right person to lead the club and reach our objectives.

“We wish ‘The Mastermind’ the best of luck.”

It is interestingly to note that Abdilla is turning out to be one of the most long-serving Maltese coaches with a Premier League as he is starting his third year at Gżira United.
