There is one name that has just come to mind. Vaughan Coveny
Has his tickets, coaching in Australia (someone said VPL?). Knows about the A League as well as anyone, a Kiwi...
edit: Youth assistant with the tards... Would be a good hire as an assistant.
Interesting. Certainly a bloke who knew how to attack at pace and one who would be a fan favourite who has club ties. But could he do the job and would he want it yet?
Looking at Popovic I think we should be encouraging our coaches, like we do with our players to try to get some experience in good clubs Europe. I'm sure Ricki would have been better for having some variety of experience before he took up his current jobs. Still been the best NZ coach in a generation. About time he remembers what he said to the NZ Knights when they went on their winning streak...!
From my point of view I'd rather Coveny than Emblen.
Definitely could be a good assistant coach option, but we'd have to lure him away from Melbourne.
WSW A league rejects?!? Hersi, Ono, Mooy. Most of their team would push for a start at the 'Nix, in fact most of their bench and squad would.
