Thursday night’s encounter against the Olyroos represents a first for Head Coach Steve Corica, as he comes up against the man he replaced in the opposite dugout at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium.

NEWS: Sydney FC To Face Olyroos
The Sky Blues’ Premiership and Championship winning Head Coach will face off against national team boss Graham Arnold, another man who enjoyed a trophy laden spell at Sydney FC, in what will be a first for the duo in a competitive fixture.
Arnold claimed two Premierships, a Championship and a FFA Cup during his four years at the Sky Blues, and Corica has certainly carried on that mantle, becoming only the second Head Coach to guide an A-League club to back to back Championships, whilst also claiming a record-breaking fourth Premiers Plate for the club in only two seasons.
Take a look at the pair’s A-League coaching statistics and their overall statistics across all competitions with Sydney FC.
