The St. Kitts and Nevis Football Association (SKNFA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Bruno Kalonji as the new Head Coach of the St. Kitts and Nevis U-20 Men’s National Team.

Coach Kalonji brings a strong and proven background in elite youth development and senior-level football. Most recently, he has served as a U-19 Head Coach within MLS NEXT, one of the premier youth development platforms in the United States, where he has been instrumental in creating high-performance environments, implementing clear tactical structures, and preparing players for national team and professional pathways.

As a head coach, Kalonji has enjoyed notable competitive success. In 2019, he led Kalonji
Soccer Academy (KSA) to a U.S. Youth National Championship, while also capturing multiple U.S. Youth State Cup and Regional Championships. At the senior level, he currently serves as Head Coach of Pro-Profile, competing in the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) Premier Division, where he has guided teams to several state and regional titles, including qualification to the UPSL National Playoffs.

“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve St. Kitts and Nevis and to work alongside the Federation’s leadership, staff, and players,” said Coach Kalonji. “My focus will be on building a strong team culture, developing disciplined and confident players, and establishing a clear playing identity that prepares our young players for the next level of international football.”

SKNFA President Atiba Harris described the appointment as a strategic step in strengthening the Federation’s youth development pathway.

“Coach Kalonji brings a rare combination of elite youth development experience and senior competitive success,” said Harris. “His background within MLS NEXT and the UPSL will be invaluable as he works closely with our Technical Director, Giba Damiano, and the technical staff to establish clear playing principles, support coach development, and elevate the standard of
our U-20 program.”

The St. Kitts and Nevis Football Association looks forward to this new chapter for the U-20 Men’s National Team and wishes Coach Bruno Kalonji every success in his new role.
