Kurtz at short odds

FORMER Adelaide United boss Marco Kurz is firming to land the Melbourne Victory coaching role. And Melbourne City is also edging closer to an appointment, having zeroed in on a coach from continental Europe to replace Warren Joyce. Victory’s coaching panel will this week interview the last of its six-man short list. Former Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi is understood to be the only Australian on it. But Victory appears to be leaning towards a foreigner to replace Kevin Muscat.
