I also think it's a good place to prove yourself as a senior coach.
Less pressure, excellent youth set-up, away from FOX and the NSW media analyzing every thing you do. Plenty of room for signings, no Mariners league minimum spend, kiwi players available.
Imagine doing the Mariners or Sydney gig as your first role.
I agree the Nix would be a great place for an aspiring head coach to prove himself. Anyone know anything about De Marigny's coaching style? For instance, is he a hard-man Kevin Fallon-type, or a quieter Ernie/Greenie?
But as third hand info, take with a pinch of salt.
Anyone who can turn Muscat into a good cop must be very able with managing people
