Pflugerville FC is excited to announce a new addition to our coaching staff. Beginning this June, Anthony Maltez will be joining PFC as its newest Director of Coaches. This young man hails from New York and will be training, educating, and overseeing our coaches in the Select and Academy programs.

Anthony had the coaching resume and education that set him apart, but his positive energy and attitude were the right fit. This is a big step for our club.”
