Manuela Tesse Completes FIFA Elite Performance Coach Mentorship Programme

Malta Women’s National Team Head Coach Manuela Tesse has completed FIFA’s Elite Performance: Coach Mentorship Programme, attending its concluding workshop in Rabat, Morocco.

The 18-month programme connects female coaches from around the world with experienced mentors, supporting their development through workshops, exchange visits and shared learning. Tesse was mentored by Tina Theune, who guided Germany to the FIFA Women’s World Cup title in 2003.

Reflecting on the experience, Tesse remarked that “I am grateful to Malta FA for giving me the opportunity to take part in FIFA’s mentorship programme. Over the past 18 months, I’ve grown as a coach and as a person, thanks to the guidance of my mentor, Tina, and the experiences shared by mentors and mentees from around the world."

She concluded by stating that “as Malta’s head coach, I want to carry that work forward by helping more players see a future for themselves in coaching. That’s what this experience means to me and what I’ll take back to my work with the national team.”
