FC Supra du Quebec today announced the appointment of two key members of its soccer leadership team who will be charged with guiding the club’s on-field success during its first season in the Canadian Premier League (CPL) in 2026.
Building on FC Supra’s “from here for here” mission, the club has appointed Mateo Cabanettes as Sporting Director and Head of Operations and Nick Razzaghi as Head Coach.
The additions align directly with the club’s commitment to developing talent from Quebec, both on and off the field.
Cabanettes brings a proven record of establishing winning programs and developing local players. As founder of Ligue 1 Quebec side CS Saint-Laurent's semi-professional program, he led the team to remarkable results in short order, including an unprecedented run in the 2024 TELUS Canadian Championship. This run featured a historical victory over CPL side Halifax Wanderers FC and exciting matchups against Toronto FC of Major League Soccer.
"When it comes to having a sharp eye for emerging, local talent, Mateo's track record is second to none," said Rocco Placentino, President, FC Supra du Québec. "He understands the game deeply, on and off the field, and brings the vision and the drive we need to kickstart our success."
Razzaghi comes to FC Supra with a stellar track record from CS Saint-Laurent's men’s semi-pro program. Under his guidance, the club achieved a historic double in 2023, winning the Ligue 1 Quebec title and the Coupe L1QC. It was only the club’s second season at that level. In 2024, Razzaghi led CS Saint-Laurent in the TELUS Canadian Championship, where the side made history by eliminating the Wanderers and advancing to the quarter-final round.
"Being part of FC Supra is a tremendous opportunity,” said Nick Razzaghi, Head Coach, FC Supra du Québec. “My focus will be on building a strong, competitive team while connecting with and growing our fanbase, whose passion and support will be central to the club’s success."
“This club represents an incredible opportunity to unite the best of Quebec soccer under one vision and brings to life a collective ambition to elevate our game to the next level,” said Mateo Cabanettes, Sporting Director and Head of Operations, FC Supra du Québec. “Nick is the perfect architect for our on-field identity. His tactical capabilities, winning mentality, and commitment to player development are exactly what we need to build a competitive and exciting team for our debut season.”
Cabanettes and Razzaghi join Nick De Santis, who was recently announced as Executive Advisor to FC Supra’s football leadership team.
