Three former Socceroos, including two Socceroos captains, and a former national womens league player have been named today as the recipients of the inaugural Elite Coach Development Scholarships by Football Federation Australia (FFA), simultaneously with the announcement of 53 year old Jan Versleijen as the new Australian Institute of Sport (AIS)/Qantas Young Socceroos Head Coach.
Todays announcement is about building for the future, said FFA CEO, Ben Buckley.
On the one hand, we are delighted to announce the appointment of someone as credentialed and able as Jan Versleijen to head our national youth program which is vital to the long term success of Australian football.
But on the other hand, were also investing in the future by announcing the recipients of our inaugural scholarships under the Elite Coach Development Program, Buckley said.......................................................................
Paul Okon, Alex Tobin, Alistair Edwards and Nicola Williams are all very worthy recipients of these four inaugural scholarships, Baan said.
While their playing and professional careers have been very different, they each bring something unique to a potential coaching career and each demonstrate considerable thought for where the game is heading.
They are typical of the coach of the future in Australia, Baan concluded.
Baan will lead the program, with assistance from the National Coach Education Manager, Kelly Cross, and the FFA National Teams and Football Development Units.
