The nominees are IN – and now it’s time to have your say on who takes out Coach of the Month honours for February in the Isuzu UTE A-League!
Australian Professional Leagues (APL) have partnered with Football Coaches Australia (FCA) for the second season running, to produce four monthly nominees for fans of the Isuzu UTE A-League to pick from as Coach of the Month.
Wellington Phoenix head coach Giancarlo Italiano won the fan vote for October/November Coach of the Month but since then, Central Coast Mariners boss Mark Jackson has dominated to polling, collecting December, January and February honours.
Both Jackson and Italiano are in the running again in the March vote after the FCA panel’s monthly polling.
This month’s nominees are…
Eligible coaches are nominated monthly by the FCA panel, consisting of:
- Catherine Cannuli
- Sarah West
- John Kosmina
- Ian Greener
- Gary Cole
Each member of the FCA panel votes for three coaches each month, granting three votes to their pick for Coach of the Month, two for their second-choice and one for their third choice.
The FCA panel will also vote for Liberty A-League Coach of the Month on the same voting schedule.
