THE COACH
BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF TALENT
Coach Ruphael has coached football since Spring 2005 when he first established Katanga Football Club in Greater London, UK with just 8 players. With over 15 years of elite coaching experience and a proven track record of developing players from youth to adult levels, he has a deep understanding of what is required to elevate an athlete's game.
My training philosophy is built on the core principle that consistency is the key to progression; it is the vital foundation that transforms raw talent into peak performance.
Born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ruphael began playing at age 7 for the Juventus Club Addis youth program. A UEFA licensed coach with FA Child Safeguarding and First Aid certification, he is energetic, skilled, and passionate about teaching across ages U5s to U18s and Adults.
