PLAYER OF THE MONTH: April nominees for Isuzu UTE A-League Fan Player of the Month: Vote today!
Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano took out the honours in October/November but since then it’s been Mark Jackson dominance; the Central Coast Mariners boss has won four Coach of the Month awards in a row from December through to March – and is nominated once more for the final monthly award of the season.
For the final month of the Isuzu UTE A-League season, Central Coast v Adelaide United’s rescheduled fixture on Wednesday, May 1 has been factored into the voting process.
April’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.
