VOTE: Hyundai A-League Coach of the Month – January
Besart Berisha – Western United FC
Age is certainly not wearying the Hyundai A-League’s greatest-ever scorer, who turned back the clock with five goals in four matches.
That included back-to-back doubles in United’s 3-0 win over Central Coast Mariners, as well as against Adelaide United in his 200th appearance in the competition.

Gregory Wuthrich – Perth Glory
Glory didn’t concede a goal in all of January, and their giant Swiss defender was a big reason why.
Strong, powerful and quick, Wuthrich got the better of every striker he came up against in January, including Golden Boot candidate Jamie Maclaren.

Craig Noone – Melbourne City
January was the month the Englishman finally lived up to his potential for City.
Noone scored twice – including a peach against Newcastle Jets – while he also had an assist as City went unbeaten all month.

Liberato Cacace – Wellington Phoenix
He may be just 19 but there’s little doubt Cacace is already the premier left-back in the Hyundai A-League.
And he was at his devastating best in January as Phoenix won three out of four matches, scoring a match-sealing goal in the victory over the Wanderers.
