Meet the Coaches
Chris McCafferty
Having played out his CSKA career as a winger with over 350 appearances, it's no surprise McCafferty opts for an attacking high-loaded style of football. Looking to utilise the ball in all areas of the pitch, McCafferty sets his team up to play from the back and progress with intent. McCafferty is currently undergoing his UEFA B Coaching Licence and is the club's all-time top scorer, most assists and record appearance holder.
Kieran Brookes-Smith
A fountain of knowledge on tactical aspects of the game. Kieran's methodical thinking and ability to read game situations in real-time as made him a key figurehead in the CSKA management team. His skills were instrumental in CSKA II's Stokes Cup success in 2024/25.
Dave Payne
Keen to make sure we are all in good race-trim, Payne will quickly identify intensity and work-rate and factor it into the sessions and games where is is needed.
