๐จ๐ณ๐ฟ Steve Coricaโs time at Auckland FC has come to an end.
Auckland co-owner Anna Mowbray has confirmed the Championship-winning coach is set to take over at J1 League giants Yokohama F. Marinos after guiding Auckland to an incredible title-winning campaign.
Itโs another chapter in the growing Australian coaching influence at Marinos. The Japanese powerhouse has previously turned to Aussie football minds including Ange Postecoglou, Kevin Muscat, Harry Kewell, Patrick Kisnorbo, John Hutchinson, Peter Cklamovski, Ross Aloisi and Arthur Papas Ontong in coaching and assistant roles.
From building Auckland FC from the ground up to now earning a move to one of Asiaโs biggest clubs, Coricaโs stock continues to rise. ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฅ

Football is about space, and a world-class low-block completely takes it away.
Saudi Arabia and a few other teams have shown how to execute it.
Do you prefer watching elite attacking fluid chaos, or a defensively perfect tactical masterclass?
Calafiori is a brilliant player, but playing him at LB is ruining his availability.
โMove him central to cover Big Gabi and go sign a specialist LB and RB this summer. Our defensive depth looks great on paper, but availability is the only ability that matters.
@ExpressionsOOZ There's a situation where City get Anderson and I'm not sure Arsenal are desperate for the profile of player to go to the fees being quoted so there's a good chance Spurs might get him. Usually clubs go in if there's encouragement from the player. Food for thought ๐ค
Chelsea fans crashing out over Cucurella is great to see. They were crowning him best LB in the league last season and now he was never that good. Football fans eh ๐ค๐๐๐
