News about Kevin Muscat

Aussie footballer Kevin Muscat (left) forged a fearsome reputation as a hard man in his playing days (pictured right) - and it seems nothing has changed in the coaching arena. Footage uploaded to X in the press conference following Shanghai Port's 2-2 draw in the AFC Champions League told the story.

Just a day after Graham Arnold (pictured left) stepped down as Socceroos manager effective immediately, the race is already on for his replacement. Daily Mail Australia has analysed Arnold's potential successor, with Tony Popovic and John Aloisi (both right), having strong claims.

Broxham will leave the game with the record for most A-League appearances, with a current total of 384. He started out as a kit man at the club before making his debut under Ernie Merrick in 2007. In all competitions, the former Victory captain has appeared in 459 games for the Melbourne club. However, having made just three A-League appearances this season - all off the bench - Broxham said it was time to end his playing career.

The new boss of Yokohama Marinos has been named a former Premier League figure. Since former Wolves and Rangers player Kevin Muscat left to face Chinese outfit Shanghai Port, the Japanese side has been looking for a new manager. Muscat had been with Yokohama for two years and won the country's top flight division, domestic cup, and super cup during his stay there.

During his ten years as a player, he was once known as England's dirtiest footballer. Now the Aussie who followed in Ange Postecoglou's footsteps has found a new gig.

Following Michael Duff's dismissal, Chris Davies is making the best money with the bookies at 6/4. Nathan Jones is the second-favourite in the market, while Brian Barry-Murphy is third, according to the betting lines at 4/1. Jones' last managerial job with Southampton was 2022-23, where he was fired in February of this year after losing 2-1 at the hands of Wolves. With the pair 6/1 and 9/1 respectively, Kevin Muscat and Luke Williams round out the five lowest-priced managers in the industry.

Muscat, the Yokohama national champion, announced his retirement on Thursday after two-and-a-half years, in his last game against Shandong Taishan in the Asian Champions League. It's unclear where Muscat, who had been linked to since-filled positions in the UK during his playing days in Rangers and Millwall, will return to next week.

KINGS OF THE PYRAMID: You may recall Kevin Muscat, the player - or at least his tough tackling. During ten years at Crystal Palace, Wolves, Rangers, and Millwall, the no-nonsense Australia defender was often described as the country's dirtiest footballer. Matty Holmes, a former Charlton midfielder, was awarded £250,000 in the High Court after Muscat, then of Millwall, had a horrific challenge throughout his career. 'That's for f***ing Muscat,' Neil Warnock said as his Sheffield United team defeated Millwall after the Aussies sparked a mass brawl.' In his book The Gloves Are Off, Blades goalkeeper Paddy Kenny wrote, "I told (Muscat) to smash someone his own age."

Millwall and boss Gary Rowett decided to part ways earlier this week after a slow start to the season, with the team only winning four out of their first 11 games. Rowett had been at the helm for four years, leading them to a top-half finish in every season until 2023-24. However, with a play-off berth to show for his relative happiness, as well as the fact that they currently sit 15th in the table, it shouldn't come as a surprise that his position as boss was no longer tenable.

Rangers are second-favourites at 11/4 to win their 56th title, while the Celtics, a cross-city rival, is overwhelming favourites at 2/9 to lift their 12th Premiership trophy in 13 seasons. Rangers are also the second-favourites behind Celtic to win the Scottish Cup, with Clement's side 5/2 odds to win Scotland's second-most prestigious title. The Scottish League Cup is the final trophy they are hoping to win. Rangers are the shortest-priced club at 15/8, followed by Hibernian, Aberdeen, and Hearts at 9/2, 5/1, and 8/1 respectively at the time of writing.

As the club prepares to begin final-stage interviews next week, Frank Lampard is out of the running to become Rangers' manager. The ex-Chelsea, Everton, and Derby boss was open to the prospect of moving to Ibrox and is thought to have held preliminary talks. However, Lampard will not be included in the second round of talks as Rangers try to find out who will be Michael Beale's replacement.

Frank Lampard, the former Premier League great, has increased significantly over the past 48 hours to leapfrog previous favorites Kevin Muscat and Pascal Jansen, who had previously received double digit odds. With Sky Bet, Muscat and Jansen are now the second and third favorite spots.

Scott Parker, the former Bournemouth and Fulham manager, wants to be Rangers' next manager. Frank Lampard and Kevin Muscat are bookmakers' favorites to replace Michael Beale, with the Ibrox club's search likely to be stepped up after last night's humiliating 2-1 loss to Cypriots Aris Limassol in the Europa League. Since his brief spell at Club Brugge ended in March, former England international Peter Parker is out of work.

Kevin Muscat, the former and current Yokohama F. Marinos boss, has been one of the lowest priced to replace the current Rangers boss in the hours since the news was revealed. Muscat has widened to 5/2 to place second-favourite in the market, behind AZ Alkmaar's Pascal Jansen, who is 2/1. If Muscat is to be the next gaffer of the infamous Glasgow club, he would have taken an eerily similar route to former Celtic boss and current Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou.

BY OLLIE LEWIS, a unique traveller, racked up a near-five figure bill, and saw his beloved Socceroos make history in Qatar, but only six words describe Julian Farrell's spectacular World Cup journey. We're on the f****** telly,' he says.' After the game in Al-Wakrah, Australia was at a 2-1 deficit against France when the camera was turned on to the 49-year-old security guard from Melbourne, the final video was plastered on social media.

The 59-year-old's deal came to an end after Argentina cut the Socceroos over the weekend, despite the governing body's investigation into his time as the country's head coach. Arnold has unquestionably raised eyebrows, with many followers and pundits predicting a new contract straight after emulating the 2006 'golden generation' of the last-16.

Yokohama defeated Vissel Kobe 3-1 on Saturday to finish top the table outright on 68 points, two points behind Kawasaki Frontale, who defeated FC Tokyo 3-2 despite playing with 10 players for the majority of the game. It's Yokohama's fifth title and first since 2019, when former Socceroos boss and current Celtic mentor Ange Postecoglou triumphed.

It's a case of what may have been for the Socceroos as Australian coach Ange Postecoglou (main photos) continues to make waves in Europe, with the manager earning a lot of praise from Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti (inset left) ahead of their Champions League match. Despite leading the team to the 2018 World Cup, former Australian legend Kevin Muscat (inset right) slamming the FFA for their role in the crisis, the 57-year-old retired in 2017 and left the team behind.
