Senior Men’s Backroom Staff Confirmed for 2026

Essendon Royals are pleased to reveal that Senior Men’s coaches Juan Toro, Bobby Trenkovski and team manager Steve Tribuzio have recommitted for the 2026 VPL2 season.

Juan has served as our Strength & Conditioning Coach since 2019, arriving alongside then-head coach Vitale Ferrante, and helping the club to promotion from State League One in 2022.

Bobby is entering his third season as Goalkeeper Coach, working with both our senior keepers and up-and-coming prospects. He has helped mentor players including Andre Russo, who has made huge strides during his time at the club. 

One of our unsung Royals heroes, Steve is back on board as team manager – with a special shoutout to Steve’s mum, Helen, for washing the jerseys!

All three are well-liked and respected figures at the Royals, and we’re delighted to have them remain at Cross Keys Reserve next season. Please join us in wishing Juan, Bobby, Steve, and the rest of the Essendon Royals coaching team well for 2026!
