Tino Scicluna enters his fifth season as head coach of the Madonna men’s soccer team in 2006. In three years at the helm, Scicluna has posted a 56-18-6 overall record and has captured three WHAC regular season titles and has led Madonna to four straight NAIA Region VIII appearances.

In 2007, Scicluna led the Crusaders to a 11-6-2 overall record and a 7-4-1 record on the conference slate, which saw Madonna finish second in the WHAC regular season standings.

In his inaugural season, Scicluna put together a stellar campaign posting a 17-2-1 record and leading the team to the WHAC championship. For his efforts, Scicluna was named WHAC Coach of the Year in his first season on the job.

Scicluna (pronounced suh-clue-nuh) took over a program that went 18-5 in 2002, bringing home a WHAC championship before falling in the NAIA Regional finals.

Scicluna was able to meld the existing parts of that championship team with some of his own recruits to again capture the WHAC and make a trip to the NAIA regional playoffs.

A native of Redford, Scicluna was a stand-out prep player at Detroit Country Day where he earned four letters, leading his team to four consecutive state championships. A two-year captain, Scicluna was twice an All-Area and All-State selection.

Following his career at Country Day, Scicluna played collegiately at Butler University (Indianapolis, IN) where he was a two-time team captain and All-Conference selection. His Butler teams were ranked in the top 20 nationally for three seasons.

Following his collegiate career, Scicluna played professionally for eight seasons with the Mid Michigan Bucks, Indianapolis Blast and Detroit Rockers. During his professional career, he was selected twice to the National All-Star team and was named Rookie of the Year in 1998. Scicluna's jersey was retired by the Bucks at the conclusion of the 2003 season.

After his playing career ended, Scicluna focused heavily on coaching. Most recently as an assistant coach for Schoolcraft Community College. During his time there, the team won three championships and finished as high as third nationally. Scicluna also has racked up extensive coaching experience on the local club scene as both a coach and director, most recently in Rochester, MI.

"We’re excited to have a person who has an incredible background as a coach and player," said Madonna AD Bryan Rizzo. "He is very familiar with the area and the talent pool from which we recruit heavily and we will continue to want to recruit heavily. We look forward to him taking our program to the next level in the years to come."

The 30 year-old Scicluna resides in Livonia with his wife Elizabeth and daughters Talia and Lena.
