Frank Steinberg will manage Maccabi Great Britain’s U18 Boys’ squad at the 2019 European Maccabi Games in Budapest.

Steinberg has won a number of trophies as a player and a manager over the last 40 years. He has represented MGB at the Maccabiah Games and describes his career highlight as winning gold at the Pan American Maccabi Games in 2007. “Our mission is to create a successful and enjoyable experience for all the squad members, both on and off the pitch,” insisted Steinberg. “From a footballing perspective, our aim is to win gold but it is just as important is to win many friends on and off the field using our style of play and emphasis on sportsmanship.”

Steinberg will be assisted by Steve Gordon and Italian-born coach Fabio Mazzone, an ex-professional footballer currently working as head coach at Queens Park Rangers FC Academy and Maccabi London Lions FC.

Mazzone said: “I am excited to share the feeling of competing at international level with what we know will be a great group of boys.”
