“Today we have made a statement about our future and I am very proud to announce Markus Babbel as our new head coach,” Wanderers chairman Paul Lederer said.
“In the next 18 months we will have our new training facility finished, our new stadium open and our club ready to take another giant. Having a coach like Markus involved with this club will make us a force in this league as we strive to win trophies, return to the AFC Champions League and make a statement not only in Australia but internationally as a football club.”
