Crystal Palace have appointed Laura Kaminski as their new head coach.
The Eagles announced the news via a post on their official club website this morning.
Kaminski joins Crystal Palace after occupying a position of first team assistant coach at the club’s Barclays Women’s Championship rivals Charlton Athletic. Kaminski has a wealth of coaching experience in the game both domestically and at international level within the England youth system.
With Crystal Palace targeting promotion to the Barclays Women’s Super League, the club have determined that Kaminski boasts all of the right attributes to take them forward.
After signing on with Crystal Palace, Kaminski said “It’s a great opportunity and an honour to join Crystal Palace, and I’m looking forward to getting started straight away and getting out onto the grass for pre-season.
“My first impressions of the club have been fantastic. The club’s facilities are amazing but, most importantly, they’re filled with people who are proud and passionate to work for this Football Club.
“I’ll be working with a group of very talented players, which gives me a great starting point to pick up from. I want to play intense football with a good tempo, but I also want to be an organised side who are disciplined and adaptable to the league that we play in.
“This club has a fantastic fanbase – one of the best in the league. I’m looking forward to meeting them, and I want to give them some fantastic football to watch week after week.
“I have to get to know the players first and foremost and then, longer-term, I look forward to working with Grace (Williams) to make this club successful, sustainable and competitive at the highest levels in the future.”
Kaminski will now prepare the Crystal Palace squad for the start of the new season at the end of August.
