Epsom & Ewell FC are delighted to announce the appointment of Piran Manecksha as joint First Team Manager of the Women’s side ahead of the 2025/26 season. At just 21 years old, Manecksha becomes the youngest manager in senior women’s football in England.

Despite his age, Manecksha brings experience well beyond his years. A UEFA C licence holder, he has already coached at multiple levels of the game, recently managing the Richmond & Kew U23 men’s side, while previously guiding Corinthian Casuals U14s to four consecutive promotions.

Epsom & Ewell Women will once again compete in the 7th tier of the English pyramid this season and are set to feature in the 2025/26 Adobe Women’s FA Cup. Home matches will be played at the 2,000 capacity Reg Madgwick Stadium in Cobham, offering a platform fitting of the club’s ambitions.

“This is a massive opportunity,” said Manecksha. “We’ll be representing the club in the FA Cup, and creating a side that plays with intensity, intelligence, and belief. I’m proud to be leading that at 21, but my focus is on where we can take this team next.”

With a clear playing identity, a growing structure beneath, and further ambitions ahead, the club believes Manecksha is the right figure to lead Epsom & Ewell Women into an exciting new era.
