Logan Metro Football Club have proactively and strategically restructured our Capital League football department to further progress the work started of creating sustained on-field success in a manner that reflects the clubs identity and philosophies. The process has also highlighted LMFC’s strong history of developing and promoting from within the club for key positions.
Current head coach (since 2017) and inaugural player Luis Melgar will move into a newly created role of Football Operations Manager. His core responsibilities include player retention, recruitment, welfare and off field development. Luis will also provide strong leadership to the full LMFC coaching staff and players, ensuring clear direction and continuation of the clubs identity, culture and plan. During his time as Head Coach, the club experienced tremendous success including the 2019 Premiership, 2019 grand final appearance, Promotion into Capital League 2 and an incredible run into RD 5 of FFA Cup qualifying where we claimed some prestigious scalps along the way (notably Mt Gravatt and Taringa) before eventually falling 1-0 to NPL side Moreton Bay. All of this was achieved in a style and manner that highlights the clubs unique identity and culture.
Luis will also continue to work with the digital Content team on delivering quality content across all our platforms to continue telling our story and growing our brand.
Current first team assistant coach Forbes Madau will move into the head coach role and oversee the day to day on field football responsibilities. An FFA qualified coach, Forbes has an eye for the tactical side of the game and proven experience in developing young talent. He’s previously held the head coach role at Logan City Kings (where he oversaw a derby win against LMFC) as well as several positions from under 6- under 18’s at Olympic FC, Albany Creek and Rochedale.
2020 reserves coach and inaugural player Saul Argueta will not continue in 2021 due to an increased work, study and family schedule. His reserves side finished 3rd scoring 47 goals in only 15 games. Saul also oversaw several reserve players push into the first team regularly.
Claude Rebocho an assistant coach to Saul in 2020 will step up to the role of reserves coach for 2021. A former XXXX league player with Brisbane City and Taringa, Claude has played alongside some very notable local players including current Brisbane Roar head coach Warren Moon. He’s also working towards completing his C license.
Elmer Avilez our sports trainer currently employed by our physiotherapy partner All Sports Calamvale will also continue to provide support onsite at Compton Park in 2021
We would like to thank Luis and Saul for their commitment and success they have helped bring to the club over the last few seasons. A strong foundation has been set and the future looks bright with our new coaching set up heading into 2021.
The rest of the coaching and support team will be announced in the coming weeks.
Trials begin on a December 1 at Gould Adam’s Park.

A message from El Presidente, Samuel Escobar (12:00pm Thursday 30 July ,2020)-
Hello LMFC Family,
Hoping you and your families are well.
Myself and the rest of the committee wanted to provide an update on the current covid19 situation following three new cases recorded in Logan of novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The government has asked the community to remain alert but not alarmed and the club will also be taking this approach.
Below are a few specific notes from the zoom call i attended with Football Brisbane and clubs last night PLUS some notes from Queensland Health
We’ll regularly be updating our LMFC family if anything changes. You can keep updated with the governments response here-

Thank you for your understanding, please follow all instructions from the relevant authorities and look after each other.
I know there is a lot of uncertainty in our community, but let’s stay calm and do our part. If you need to talk to someone , we are here to listen or there are places that we can refer you to
Together we are stronger

Logan Metro FC is super proud and excited to announce Michael Ulstad as our women’s team head coach and Branden Turepu as his assistant coach.
The duo led our u18 boys academy in 2019 to their Grand Final and are committed to growing our women’s program, a priority of the LMFC committee in 2020 and delivering success on the field and off it
I’m excited for the opportunity LMFC has presented me with. I’m confident that with my experience on the pitch and development as a coach I can improve not only our players skill set but thier knowledge of the game.
Locking in Bran as my assistant was a must for me and with our success from last year we know we can continue to build and improve the women’s program and presence at the club.
I’m looking forward to the challenge and am hoping to see a lot of new faces who want to improve their game and be part of a team.
Kate Pursehouse will continue in the role as our women’s coordinator and is passionate about growing women’s football at LMFC.
We’re so pleased to have locked in Michael and Branden to our women’s program. After a successful year coaching the under 18 boys academy and leading them to the grand final, they hope to strengthen the quality of the women’s team and push for promotion, as well as attracting new female players to the club. Bringing years of experience with both coaching and playing, I look forward to seeing them in action and taking charge of our women’s program.
This year, Logan Metro will be registering for 2 teams in the Women’s City League competition so there will be plenty of opportunities for all players of all abilities to come and play for this amazing club.
The club is looking at having 2 women’s teams in 2020 for the first time! A team with a competitive focus and the other team with a more social focus, allowing the club to cater for female players of all abilities.
The club’s most successful coach, Jen Dunn is stepping down as our women’s coach and transitioning into inspiring the next generation of female players through our MiniRoos program.
Jen has taken our women’s team to the finals every year in our Football Brisbane era since taking charge in 2015.
? 2 Premierships | ? 1 Grand Final Win | 2️⃣ Grand Finals | 4️⃣ consecutive seasons in finals
“I would like to thank everyone that has helped make the LMFC women’s program what it is today and I am looking forward to helping to inspire and identify our next generation of LMFC girls to continue the success we have started” Jen Dunn, LMFC’s women’s coach since 2015
