Back at home in A-League:
Alex Tobin signs on with Mariners
3 minutes ago. |
Former Socceroos captain Alex Tobin has been confirmed as the new assistant coach of A-League club the Central Coast Mariners.
Tobin, who had been the Mariners' development manager, will continue as coach of their youth team as well as serving as Lawrie McKinna's assistant for the rest of the season.
He replaces Ian Ferguson, who was recently released after being appointed as the inaugural head coach of new A-League franchise North Queensland.
"This new role won't differ too greatly from the one that I have fulfilled previously, but it is no less exciting to have been formally recognised in this fashion," Tobin said.
"I look forward to what is already shaping to be a successful campaign alongside Lawrie and an exceptional playing group that is as determined as I have seen them to win some silverware."
Tobin played 522 games in Australia's domestic competition and represented the country a record 113 times.
Meanwhile, the Mariners are confident goalkeeper Mark Bosnich will return from a hamstring injury against Wellington on October 19, the final match of his short-term contract with the club.
The former Socceroos keeper had to leave the field early during last Friday's 4-1 win over Perth, but subsequent scans showed no muscle tear.
"I'll return to training as soon as possible and with the help of the club and my teammates I'm determined to do all that I can to push my case for a starting berth against the Wellington Phoenix," Bosnich said.

Not a player movement but interesting all the same.
