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.
