Ismaiel Alkayali – Head Coach
Please welcome Ismaiel Alkayali, Head Coach and President of AMSG FC!
Ismaiel comes from a strong soccer background and enjoyed a lot of success before being forced into a premature retirement due to injury. The midfielder played NCAA Division 1 at both Cal State Fullerton and Houston Christian University, and also spent a few successful summers playing USL League 2. He graduated with a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology in 2017.
Post-college, Ismaiel went on numerous professional trials and received contract offers from teams in Spain, Ukraine, Finland, Brazil, Turkey, Iceland, Italy, and the United States. After being forced into an early retirement due to recurring hip injuries, he began training aspiring and current pros with AMSG FC. Ismaiel quickly became the go-to private trainer for college and professional soccer players in the Orange County area. From there, with his vast experience, the transition to an organized semi-professional team was an easy jump.
Now, dedicated to holistic athlete development, his teams undergo technical, tactical, mental, physical, and physiological training, with a focus on nutrition, strength, and recovery.
*As a final note, Ismaiel has recently been selected as the head USL League 2 Scouting Coordinator for the Southwest Division.
