Maurogiovanni is a former Italian Olympic rower who competed at the 1988 Seoul and 1992 Barcelona Games.

He was Head Coach with the Western Australian team for the last 15 years.

“Since 1977 rowing has been my passion and made up much of my life,” said Maurogiovanni.

“It has taken me from Italy to Australia to the Netherlands and back to Australia and now to Ireland.

“I look forward to applying the experience and knowledge I have acquired over the years and using it to the best of my ability to bring success in Ireland.”
