I for one can get behind the fox back in NT colours
Hayden Foxe, Frank Juric and Paul Okon announced as assistants.
It would have been astonishing to see Rudan get the gig, due dilligence aside his ego alone would have been absolute poison.

Maybe the Rudan leak was so we would be relieved by this otherwise not particularly whelming outcome

I feel like this is going to be the theme statement of the Popovic era.

There wouldn’t have been that many options though would there?
Poppa, Rudan and JP de Marigny would’ve been the dream team. Crea back on fitness.
Sucks for Luke Wilkshire, he’d only been assistant for a short while, right? Hope he’s not far away from an ALM gig.

It can’t have been Okon’s time with CCM that got him the gig.
Hey! He studied at the feet of the great Miron Bleiberg!
He did not study very hard.

I think the assistant’s job was found for him as compenstion when he crashed with Mariner’s Academy.
Just on Foxe, he’s been a number 2 for over a decade now right? Surely he’s next off the production line to take over somewhere in the league.
Assuming he wants it.
Upgrading from Pizza delivery boy, to DoorDasher?

My suspicion is that he’s happy as an assistant and his couple of caretaker stints have maybe indicated to him that being the head coach isn’t for him. If he were really ambitious, he’d probably be looking to be an assistant under a number of other coaches rather than following Popa around.
That said he did say that he wanted the Wanderers job on a permanent basis when he was assistant with them but that would have been at the start of his tenure rather than the end of it.

Didn’t Luongo retire from internationals?
That’s what I thought as well

It’s clearly Shame heavy. Having Arzani performing his regular 9.5 from the East German judge efforts might be designed to get us more penalties against packed defences I guess?
Good to see Stametolopoulos, is Yenti still suspended?
