Australia’s 2006 World Cup mastermind will come out of retirement to help his former assistant Graham Arnold when the Socceroos return home next month to play New Zealand.
Australia’s 2006 World Cup mastermind Guus Hiddink will come out of retirement to help his former assistant Graham Arnold when the Socceroos return home next month for their farewell match against New Zealand in Brisbane.
Former Socceroos coach Guus Hiddink, right, with then-assistant Graham Arnold in 2006. Arnold is now in his second stint as Socceroos coach.“All the players in the beginning - regarding the World Cup qualification - were not very confident, because there was failure in the past. I liked very much the commitment of our players ... [but] I had to look for a balance in the team, not just to go for 100 or 110 per cent commitment in the fighting spirit.
Guus Hiddink and Jason Culina celebrate the Socceroos' drought-breaking qualification for the 2006 World Cup.“I think Graham Arnold made a tremendous achievement, tremendous development in his coaching career. I knew him, of course, as a player in the early days in the Dutch league, that he was very committed as well. And then he made a transfer to being a coach.
