"As coach of the Michigan Stars, the championship is what we aim for and anything less than a championship is a disappointment for me. Michigan Stars FC is built for success. It's a privilege for me to be a part of this club for 2024. It's an enormous pressure to coach for a club that expects to win every game, home or away. Saying this, I don't want to disrespect the other teams in the league, I know the standard for the Michigan Stars is to coach this team to the best of my abilities and bring the championship back to Michigan.

I am looking forward to another exciting season. It's been a long three months since the loss in last seasons Championship game and I can't wait to be back on the field again. I'm looking forward to coaching the players who are willing to accept this challenge in 2024. Also, I am looking forward to seeing our fans at the games! We are looking to set attendance records and continue and enhance the traditions that we have started. Our first game is right around the corner and I look forward to coaching the Stars and seeing everyone at the games." --Coach Enis Dokovic
