About

My name is Chandler Milligan, and I a writer, football media manager, photographer, and academy football coach.

I have been working (and volunteering) in football for the last five+ years, taking on a plethora of roles & responsibilities. I am the current Media & Marketing Coordinator of Lions FC and the Media Manager of the Tamborine Mountain Eagles.

My goal is to be the Media Manager of a European football club. 

Outside of football media, I want to write and publish a novel and pursue a part-time career in Academy Coaching.

I am currently completing my Master's in Creative Writing at Macquarie University, while striving to continue my coaching journey in Queensland in addition to my daily workload that includes social media management, editorial content, blog writing, photography, graphic design, and everything else you can imagine.
