Aussies abroad 🌍🦘

I think that of the current crop of Aussie managers Muscat and Corica should be under consideration with Muscat my preferred choice. Millsy is doing amazingly but I would like to have him have two or three seasons coaching a team.
Previous overseas managers seemed to be either German or Dutch (happy to be corrected). I wonder if the net was cast a bit wider and perhaps consider the Brazilian Felipe Luis, a former left back and championship manager in Brazil.
 
We should get a person or people whose job is specifically to scout dual internationals. Look at Morocco for example. The FRMF caps or tries to cap anyone with a drop of Moroccan blood in them. Morocco’s team is full of Belgians, Dutchmen, Frenchmen, Germans and Spaniards (plus a Canadian by birth who was raised in Morocco). In fact, their own captain (Achraf Hakimi) was born and raised in Madrid!
Technical director first. Then the resources underneath.
 
I'm the opposite; we need someone as manager who cares deeply about Australian football and who is going to be a good custodian of the game, including by taking a pragmatic approach to locking in home-grown players who might be tempted to switch. Graham Arnold certainly did that, and the impression I get is that there are plenty around. Australia is actually doing a pretty good job of producing decent managers at the moment.
Muscat or Milligan.
