The former Socceroo is head coach of Lion City Sailors, a club making waves in Singapore and one with ambitions to become a regional and, one day, continental force.
The Sailors have just smashed Singapore’s transfer record by paying around $2.8 million for Diego Lopes from Portuguese club Rio Ave.
It has made football fans in the city state sit up and take notice, which is hardly a surprise given that the previous transfer record was a relatively measly $49,000.
That is not the only signing. Also incoming is Brazilian defender Jorge Fellipe who joins from Al-Tai in Saudi Arabia.
