Leicester Nirvana are delighted to confirm Sam Winch as the new first team manager. Sam is an A licence coach who works at Nottingham Forrest.

We are very excited by this appointment as he will bring great knowledge and direction to drive our youthful side forward.

Sam had the following to say:

‘I am extremely pleased to be taking on the role as manager here at Leicester Nirvana. Having worked with the guys for sometime now over preseason, I quickly recognised that this is a team with a lot of youth and potential. A club with a lot of culture, hardworking volunteers and exciting young talent. As a whole club, they pride themselves on bringing through home grown talent and this season, we hope to see many faces progress from our youth teams up to senior level. Working at Nottingham Forest as an A licence coach (YDP) I hope will bring the level of input to help create a vibrant learning environment. 

Time to knuckle down and get ready for our opening game of the season next Tuesday. I look forward to meeting the clubs fans at our first competitive game under lights in the FA Cup, against Oadby.’

We look forward to working with Sam on the next part of our seniors journey.

(The season start on Tuesday 1st September at home, spectators are allowed however due to regulations capacity will be capped at 150).
