About Eric Lichaj

I am an enthusiastic and determined UEFA A Licence coach currently making the transition into a coaching environment following a successful elite-level playing career. I believe players respond well to my hard-working, enthusiastic and energetic personality and I am meticulous in planning and delivering high-quality coaching sessions. Having spent my happiest years as a player at Nottingham Forest FC, I have been thrilled to kick off my coaching career as part of Forest’s U23 coaching team, but I have ambitions to develop as a coach and I would relish new and exciting opportunities to pass on the knowledge I have gained to a new generation of talented players. I have worked with many leading managers whose knowledge and experience has helped shape my own ideas about coaching in the modern game.
