Ummm...nope, you're right.

And name how many nations in this comp have native coaches? Not too many. There's something in that I'm sure.

Experience is everything

Most of the coaches in the past have been involved in Australia football. There are not many born Australians can do the group.

What about Eddie Thompson which is not auusie born but was involved when the old NSL started. He had the team well organised.

THe only coach in the A League is good enough is the Newcastle Coach Gary van Egmond. He is only rough at the moment with lack of expirence. He is my tip in years to come he will be our next Australian born.

Not a completely unfamiliar situation for England.

There has been a big skill/experience/football-brain drain in Australia - as the old European generation has aged and disappeared from the game.

Get used to it more and more. The top players earn so much from the sport these days that on retirement they don't need to stay in the game.

Two of the best coaches in England and sven goran eriksson never even played at a high level. (mourinho and wenger)
