AAWFC appoints a new manager

We’re pleased to introduce the new manager of the Alloa Athletic Women FC, Allan Milne.

Allan is currently a Rangers Soccer Academy and Charity Foundation coach taking the lead in developing an academy programme with Whitehill Secondary School. Allan is also very experienced in the women’s game having spent three years at Stenhousemuir WFC and another three years at Glasgow University Women’s team as Head Coach.

We’re sure Allan is the right person to continue the good progress in building the team. He takes over as the Alloa Athletic Women are undefeated in the league from the opening half of the season, six points off from the League leaders in 4th in the Biffa SWFL.

Best of luck to Allan and the Women in the second half of the season.

Alloa Athletic Women’s Management Team

The Club has recently been notified that Charles Dignan and his assistant Gregg McSwiggan are to leave their management and coaching roles with the Alloa Athletic Women’s 1st Team. The club would like to thank Charles for his focus and dedication in professionalising the squad which has shown continuous improvement under his management. 

Charles cited the time and distances travelling every week from his home in the East of Fife as a significant factor in deciding to leave the club for a new position with Dunfermline FC. Both Charles and Gregg leave with the club’s very best wishes for the future.

The selection of a new management team will begin immediately with a view to having them in place for the first competitive game in mid-January 2024.

Allan Salvona Moves On

Alloa Athletic Women’s Football Club manager Allan Salvona will take charge of his last game for the women’s team on Sunday against Drumchapel United.

We’d like to thank Allan for the hard work, time and effort he has put into the formation and running of the Alloa Athletic women’s team during its inaugural season in the SWFL North/East and this year’s Biffa SWFL West competition.

Alloa Athletic will now be inviting applications to continue Allan’s hard work.

Allan Salvona – AAWFC Manager

We’re pleased to welcome Allan Salvona as the first manager of Alloa Athletic Women’s Football Club.

Allan has been coaching for nearly a decade, mainly at SYFA level with Murieston United. He also has worked in scouting and analysis, professionally, for Hibernian and St Mirren. At Murieston, he has been part of the male and female game including as a Football Development Officer for the club on the girls pathway, increasing the participation numbers of the girls greatly. In recognition of this work he received an SFA South East region award for his contribution to girls’ football.

Allan immediately struck us a very driven and ambitious individual and this coupled with his track record in developing both a progressive pathway and the talents of players within that framework, gives us the confidence that he will be a successful appointment. We are delighted to welcome him to the club and look forward to supporting the development of the Women’s squad.
