Ross Aloisi could be the host of new TV show Football Superstar on Foxtel's FOX8 channel.

au.fourfourtwo.com understands that the recently retired A-League star is one of six hosts in mind. However, he is the only footballer of the six the TV show is looking at to host.Aloisi recently appeared as a comments man on Fox Sports Asian Champions League coverage and is looking towards a career in the media following his recent retirement from football due to a recurring back injury. Football Superstar is a first ever �Australian Idol� style TV show for would-be football stars. The winner of the show wins a contract to play youth league football with Sydney FC in the A-League. Trials have already begun to find would-be contestants.

They have the same concept in the UK, win a professional contract with Chelsea FC. Not applicable for goalkeepers though, bah!

The UK/Chelski version was the worst piece of television ever.  Rated like sh*t and both the channels and the club hated it.
 
Perfect for Sydney FC then.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

I agree smithy!
There was something called "Champions" in Italy a couple of years ago. God was it crap. It's basically like Big Brother, with the only difference that it's set on a football field.
Plus I think it was all staged - with grown-up players crying every time they didn't make the starting XI and all that crap.

Hope Rossy will get a job as commentator but won't lower himself to host that "would-be footballer" program!
I'm sorry but I just loathe all these so-called "reality shows", I think they do not reflect reality at all!!
