Michael Loftman Email & Phone Number

Currently 17 years into pursuing coaching, leadership & management excellence. My coaching career has led to working across Professional Clubs and National Teams across the globe, including the Egyptian National Team for their 2021 World Cup Qualifiers, the City Football Group at Lommel SK in Belgium, and Orlando Pirates & Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa competing in both local and continental competitions. In my initial coaching years, I was teaching P.E in schools, and delivering community coaching sessions across a variety of locations in London. This was alongside building a strong educational background, including Bachelors & Masters Degrees in Sports Science, Coaching, Psychology, and Pedagogy. This excelled my learning experiences, by being able to critically evaluate the effectiveness of coaching and management methodologies across the Football Industry. At 25 years old, after taking a leap of faith and moving from London to Zambia, I became one of the youngest Professional Head Coaches in World Football. This was one of the most important experiences thus far, creating a certain love for coaching & management, a clear vision of my areas to improve and develop, as well as clarifying the areas I excel in.My next Head Coach role, was working with the U23's team at Orlando Pirates, where a number of players have gone on to represent the First Team, and we had the highest win percentage with the youngest average age in the league. In 2021 I spent four months with the Egyptian National Team working alongside Carlos Queiroz, the former Real Madrid Head Coach and Manchester United Assistant Coach. This also meant working alongside elite level professional players, including Mohamed Salah and Mohamed Elneny. In this period, we finished top of the group and qualified for the Final World Cup Playoffs in March 2022.Also in 2021, I released a 4.5 star Amazon reviewed coaching book named 'Theories & Concepts for Football Coaching & Management', with the intention of consolidating and sharing my knowledge to date.Since 2023 I have been the First Team Assistant Coach at Mamelodi Sundowns, winning both the Domestic League Title and African Football League.
