Football Federation Australias hunt for a high profile coach to replace Pim Verbeek has hit a stumbling block with Marcello Lippi, Jurgen Klinsmann and Marco Van Basten all turning down the job.

Among the candidates left standing are World Cup coaches Paul Le Guen (Cameroon) and Marcelo Bielsa (Chile), plus a number of unnamed English coaches who have also thrown their hats in the ring.

Acting Qantas Socceroos Head Coach Han Berger has selected a squad of 20-players for the upcoming international friendly fixture against Slovenia in Ljubljana, Slovenia on Wednesday 11 August 2010

(Kick-Off 8:45pm local, 4:45am AEST. (on Fox Sports)).

Thirteen members of the Qantas Socceroos squad that represented Australia at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa have been selected along with James Holland, Shane Lowry, Jade North and Tommy Oar who were named as part of the preliminary squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Nathan Burns will receive his first Qantas Socceroos call up after some impressive performances for AEK Athens at the recent Sydney Festival of Football.

Bruce Djite and Jon McKain will return to the Qantas Socceroos squads after last being selected for the AFC Asian Cup 2011 Qualifiers against Kuwait and Indonesia in January and March 2010 respectively.

This international friendly match will be the first at Slovenia ’s new national stadium, Športni Park Stožice in Ljubljana.

Slovenia were placed in Group C of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and narrowly missed out on progressing to the round of 16 finishing third in their group behind the USA and England . Slovenia are currently placed 19th in the FIFA World Rankings, their highest position ever and one place ahead of the Qantas Socceroos.

Seems strange that James Troisi and Brad Inman [ http://ccmfans.net/board/index.php?/topic/2129-scots-want-inman/ ] are left out while Richard GARCIA is left in.

Good to see Holland there [OK OK OK i understand he is a *!%#) but he is a good defensive mid and it is between Holland & Jedi for that role in the futire... TBH have no idea how Jade North is there ...

Maybe this should have its own thread instead of being on the back of a Pim thread..

he was quite excellent at the world cup and he plays at a higher the two players listed above

Heard rumours about Maradona.......

Thought about it ... but we are post PIM and pre=anyone else so it is still relevant .. a one off game.

I can see their thinking in picking players in regard to one day FIFA break, in Europe, Rounds 1 & 2 of A-League. Will be interesting to see how they go.

Slater calling for Maradonna is awesome :lol:
He'd certainly put us on the map press wise!!
Love to see him tell the AFL lobby or Foz that they can all suck his cock!
