Jeff Valcius appointed as Men’s League2 head coach
The former Vaughan Azzurri coach joins Scrosoppi and takes charge of the club’s second team in League1 Ontario.
Jeff Valcius brings plenty of League1 Ontario knowledge, experience, and success to Scrosoppi ahead of 2026, as he switches Vaughan for Milton and takes charge of SFC’s Men’s League2 Division team.
Following a four-year stint at his previous club Vaughan Azzurri, where he won the 2024 Men’s L1 Cup, the 2022 Men’s Premier Division title, two League1 Ontario reserve titles, two OPDL Charity Shields, and an OPDL Cup, he is looking forward to getting to work at a club that shares a similar vision to his own.
“Joining Scrosoppi appealed to me because it was clear that this club is an organization committed to excellence, development, and a strong club culture – values that align closely with my own coaching philosophy,” Valcius said.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to contribute to the growth of our players and to work alongside such a dedicated staff, as well as continuing the winning culture within the community.”
Scrosoppi’s Men’s League2 Division side finished sixth out of eight teams in the regular season last year, while the first team won the Men’s L1 Cup and narrowly missed out on a second consecutive Premier Division title.
Work begins immediately for Valcius, who has very ambitious aims for his team in 2026.
“My first responsibilities will be to influence the culture and add to the standards that make Scrosoppi great, but also to become a brand ambassador and emulate what Scrosoppi can offer to the community as a whole.
“My previous experience of being a high-performance coach will help with this role as I bring a wealth of experience over to an already established culture that's eager to grow.
“I believe my most important impact will be that of culture and direction, bringing to the program an unrivalled work ethic and instilling a sense of confidence and camaraderie. I am looking for trust and passion, dedication to the culture, and overall eagerness to work.
“The goals I have for the program are to be league champions, but most importantly, to create a brand identity that is recognizable across the country.”
