George Contreras, who coached football for 40 years in Ventura County, has spent the last two years coaching an American team in Sicily, the Catania Elephants of the Italian Football League. This spring and summer, he’s going to spend seven months coaching a team in Sweden.

Now he’s come back to the area to offer a lecture about coaching and playing opportunities in Europe. He’ll be speaking next Thursday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Oxnard Rio Mesa High library.

The presentation is free. And check to see if Contreras knows any Italian.
