CHAMPIONS! How Auckland FC conquered the A-League in YEAR TWO! What's Steve Corica's Next Move?

Yeah.

Of course, Auckland FC against Sydney FC, um, pitting Steve Corica against his former club.

Now, I think you could almost make a, a, a very strong case to suggest that he is the best A-League coach in history.

Is he the best that the A-League has produced in terms of a manager?

I think he absolutely is in terms of the investment that he's put back into the league.

If you look at Ange, obviously he's gone off to do wonderful things.

Graham Arnold, someone else.

I think you could-

Yeah

... put him in that category.

And then there is a, a tier kind of underneath, if you will.

So the likes of Muskat, Popovic.

Mm.

Yeah.

Um, Steve Corica very firmly entrenched into that, that group of managers that are now being very ambitious.

And those are, those are managers that have, at least in some part, been made by the A-League.And I think that's a really cool reflection, so that not only Steve Corica played in the A-League, and obviously scored in the grand final, the first grand final-

Yeah

...

but he is a product of the A-League.

And if there's one concern I do have, uh, at the moment from a New Zealand perspective is that we haven't contributed to that aspect of the A-League.

We haven't had a coach that's gone on and coached at that kind of that sharp end, the playoffs and then the final.

Oh, funny you say that, because I'm wondering, Ify, if because of Steve Corica's success we might not see him next season.

And so is it a case of come on down Danny Hay? And he's been there the whole time Steve has, working underneath the A-League's greatest head coach.

So maybe it's time for Danny Hay to step up.

Yeah, look, I, I don't think we need to go too early here.
