Crunchland Returns: Head Coach Antonio Manfut Talks Expectations, Excitement And The Move To The Wolstein Center!

On this season debut of Crunchland, host Chris Akin is joined by Cleveland Crunch Head Coach Antonio Manfut to dive deep into the new season. They talk about the devastating finals defeat that still "stings" and how they're using it for motivation to secure a 2026 championship. Coach Manfut highlights the returning leadership like Captain DJ (Dave Jordan), Ryan Minick, and Admir Suljevic, and praises the amazing progress of the "dynamic duo" Gabriel Pewu and Omar Najjar. Plus, they discuss the huge move to the legendary Wolstein Center downtown, what the coach looks for in new players (it's more than just skill!), and his excitement for the opening match against Lansing.Early Bird Season Tickets went on sale Friday, November 7th!
