Australian football coaches in head coaching positions overseas
There has been an increasing number of Australian football coaches gaining employment overseas in recent years,[1] with coaches such as Ange Postecoglou, Kevin Muscat and Harry Kewell having been appointed to manage major clubs in Europe and Asia.
The first Australian football coach to take charge of a club in one of Europe's Big Five leagues was Patrick Kisnorbo at Troyes.[2]
