    The owner of the A-League's incoming Auckland franchise has promised to make a splash in the transfer market after signing Steve Corica as the club's inaugural coach.

    Corica was announced as leader of the start-up side on Thursday, his first appointment since being sacked by Sydney FC earlier this year.

    The 50-year-old has spent time overseas with Ange Postecoglou and Kevin Muscat since his axing from the Sky Blues.

    He will take charge of the as-yet-unnamed Auckland club for the 2024-25 season.

    Ex-Sydney boss Corica to be Auckland's 1st coach

    i like the idea, blue stripes are auckland, black is NZ and as @Bovidae it doesnt hurt having that similarity to Inter

    Wimbledon released this kit and we have started a connection with Boca on the back of it

    I also like the idea of giving it a proper club name (Auckland FC)...but just mentioning a nickname (Black Knights)...so they can embrace it when it suits but ditch it if it becomes cringy

    When they are lying rolling about on the ground after being tapped on the shin's, the shirts will look like Ponsonby rugby

    Cool to have another team from NZ in the A-League, hopefully both sides can push the Aussies on a regular. Phoenix are definitely doing that this year.

    No big names yet, but some Kiwis have signed.

    Auckland FC have contracted three fringe All Whites and an under-23 international as the new A-League club’s first signings.
    The Black Knights unveiled goalkeeper Michael Woud, 25, fullback Francis de Vries, 29, midfielder Cameron Howieson, 29, and forward Jesse Randall, 21, at Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter on Thursday.

    Seen some speculation that they've got 14 players signed and are planning to slowly announce names over the next few weeks.

    Howieson was a perennial subject of phoenix rumours and speculation, so looking forward to seeing how he goes in the a league.

    No Aussies or imports yet, so probably saving them for last. Corica will be tapping into the Sydney football market.

    Enjoyed that, haven't really followed the A League since the Knights folded in 2007.

    Nice to have a local team to support.

    @African-Monkey I'm not a football guy but even I might follow them. Especially since they play in Ponsonby Rugby colors!

    Must've been a lot of unused freebies in that 'sold out' crowd.

    Great to see Akl back in the A League but it was a hard watch at times. Pretty low standard of football.

    The A League must be no stronger than the English 3rd division
