<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Former A-League coach Ian Crook would be a good signing. Lots of experience coaching (mainly as an assistant) in Australia, Japan, and England. He was the assistant at Norwich City, Sydney FC, Avispa, and the Newcastle Jets. He was also recently head coach of Sydney FC. He also had head coaching stints with the American Samoa national team.</font><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Seems like the like-for-like replacement for Trevor Morgan.</font></div>
<br><div><br></div><div>the profile sounds too high profile for i-league club.... i doubt any clubs got a wage structure to support the huge wages he might be asking for</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>Not exactly. American Samoa on any resume does not exactly scream "I am the special one" and he has only ever managed as a head coach in 6 A-League matches. All of them from this season at the beginning of the season where he won 2 and lost 4 (Sydney were poor overall this whole season, it was not just him) and the rest is just assistant coaching in the A-League and Japanese and English lower tiers.</div><div><br></div><div>Seems reasonable for I-League.</div>
what about Bas van den Brink? he was about to join cb , but the move could not happen due to his injury. any news about his chance in i league nxt season?
