Valentine and Tenace take Eagles’ top perch

Valentine will also have an on-field role.

The duo replaces Francis Lias who led the side in 2026.

“Together, Cam and Leo bring a wealth of football knowledge and experience, through many years involved in strong football programs as both players and coaches,” the club said on social media.

“Both are extremely well respected throughout the football community.”

Valentine and Tenace formed a three-person coaching combination with Simon Maddox at the Echuca Murray Bombers in 2025.

Echuca United has also announced A-grade and under-17 coach and head of coaching Leesa Hooppell will be stepping away from her roles.

The club has yet to announce a replacement.
