You know, we were talking about him when he first came into the club over a year ago as, you know, this kind of unknown name in regards to South Melbourne.
Keane McKennaHOST
He wasn't a former player, didn't really have much to his name, and he's walking away with so much more now, like a Australia Cup winner, Australia Championship, OFC Pro League finalist, Dockerty Cup winner.
Keane McKennaHOST
Even just, you know, getting South out of relegation last year was a fantastic achievement in itself from where they were.
Keane McKennaHOST
I remember, I still think if you scroll down on Spotify, um, or Apple Podcasts, there's an episode titled, um, Are South Melbourne Getting Relegated? And I think that was either right at the start of his tenure or just before his tenure.

Zoran MarkovskiGUEST
I mean, there's 15 other good teams, and really looking forward to leading Preston at, at home against Wollongong Wolves, and really excited for the challenge.
Keane McKennaHOST
So to talk about your NPL season, your first, uh, season as the full head coach at Preston.
Keane McKennaHOST
Uh, finished in the top six of the league, um, won the Dockerty Cup, first major trophy for Preston, um, during this season.
Keane McKennaHOST
What have you learnt about your team, and what lessons are you hoping to implement in the championship?
Peter KokotisGUEST

Peter KokotisGUEST
And then, um, Bill and Andrew came in, and the investment and the support and the belief that they gave was unbelievable, and they just, mate, they, they just said, "We're gonna win this.
Peter KokotisGUEST
We're gonna win that.

Cup, the Dockerty Cup, the Australian Championship, and the Asian Champions League.
Bill PapastergiadisGUEST
Now, we're gonna give a lot of opportunities to a lot of footballers to show us what they've got and, you know, that's what it's about.
Bill PapastergiadisGUEST
And we're, we're excited about that and, you know, and it's a great opportunity for administrators, our coaches, and our players because we want them all to develop at all levels, their skill level.
Mark IvkovicGUEST
Um, they did remarkably well to have the season that they did, Preston, with all the turmoil that they had off the field.
Mark IvkovicGUEST
You know, won the Dockerty Cup, which is no mean feat in, uh, in Victoria.
Mark IvkovicGUEST
Um, I think Zoran Markovski really got them playing some good football at times.
Mark IvkovicGUEST
There were periods there where they struggled, um, especially in the first half of the season, but once, uh, Luka Tvia came into that, that line-up, which they sorely missed him when he left on the eve of the start of the season, once he came in in that, uh, later transfer window just after the halfway mark, really changed the tide for Preston.
