TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Dear Sir/Madam
Simone Ripamonti
I confirm that Melbourne Heart FC has employed Simone Ripamonti as its Fitness & Sports Science
Manager on an employment contract.
Simone was recruited to our football club after an extensive international search. Given competition
for places and the need to recruit quality professional staff, we conducted extensive reference checks
on Simone, including with senior management at leading European sports organisations and
Australian professional sporting organisations. Each reference we received was outstanding.
Simone is already a valued employee of this organisation and we hold him in high regard.
In terms of specifics of Simone’s employment contract, the club is currently covering Simone’s rental
expenditure and will continue to do so within a salary packaging arrangement.
If you require any further information, or confirmation of Simone’s engagement, do not hesitate to
