SOC:History beckons for Auckland in 'weird' ALM grand final

Auckland (Organization) ALM Steve Corica New Zealand Sydney FC

An A-League Men grand final against his former side can only be described by Auckland FC coach Steve Corica as weird.

Corica's nearly two-decade history with Sydney FC weighs on his mind ahead of Saturday's sold-out grand final at Go Media Stadium in New Zealand.

Auckland are out to become the first Kiwi team to claim an ALM grand final, while the Sky Blues are eyeing a record-extending sixth championship.

Corica had guided Sydney FC to their two most recent grand-final wins in 2019 and 2020, and was also at the helm in the 2021 loss to then-coach Patrick Kisnorbo's Melbourne City.

But the Auckland coach's past with the competition's most successful club goes deeper.

Corica has been associated with the club since its inception in 2005, when he also scored the winning goal in that season's grand final win over Central Coast Mariners.
