What is the background of Steve Corica's football career?
Live from the Export Beer Garden studio, this is the Agenda Special with coach Steve Corker.
The Agenda Podcast, the home of sporting nonsense and claptrap. Brought to you by Export Ultra.
You know, shove this prep up your G-lane. From scoring the winning goal in the very first A-League grand final to leading Auckland FC through a dream debut season, today's guest is one of the biggest names in Australasian football. As a player, Mr Corica made more than 430 professional appearances across Australia, England and Japan, represented the Socceroos 32 times. I hope this is right, and became an A-League icon with Sydney FC. His success is carried straight into coaching, winning multiple A-League championships and an Australian Cup as Sydney FC head coach before taking charge of Auckland FC just last year. where he's already delivered a premiership in the club's inaugural season and picked up an A-League Coach of the Year honours.
Please welcome to the Agenda podcast, Auckland FC coach, head Steve Corica. Head coach Steve Corica, sorry. Steve, first question for you, mate. Geez, with a resume like that.
Thank you very much for that. Can I just say, mate, that took him all of about 30 seconds typing that into chat, GBT. I don't know if you guys use AI at Auckland FC.
I cannot believe this. I think everyone's used it at the moment. Yeah, just go into co-pilot. You get out of it, mate.
It takes one to know one. He went into co-pilot, Steve,
Coach Koraka doesn't deserve to come in here and hear us chirping along. Anyway, Steve, when you hear a resume like that, surely you think, geez, you know what, maybe I just buy a beach house, put my feet up for a season and watch A-League with Frosty for a change.
I wish I could, but no, I've still got a lot of drive in myself. Obviously, second season here and second year in the semifinals now. So looking forward to tomorrow's match. I guess Adelaide, they're always a tough, tough opponent. You know, we want to do something special here and we want to get into a final for one. And win it as well.
Well, that kind of leads me on to another question is, so you've kind of foisted yourself on your own petard slightly at Auckland FC because the standards have been set so high, you know, high profile investors, the media support, and then obviously a massive first season. Is anything but silverware a disappointment for you guys? And how do you not shape up your season with that kind of mindset?
Probably would be a little bit disappointing if we don't win something because we – well, obviously the owner wants to win. That's the reason why I wanted to come here in the first place because I'm very ambitious myself as a coach. I want to win all the time. So if we don't pick up anything, you know, we'll have to look over the season. There's been opportunities to actually – I thought we should have probably won the premiership if a couple of results went our way, but we didn't manage to do that. But we're in a good position now to – So hopefully go one better than last season and get into a final and win a trophy. Like a grand final is amazing to be involved in and it's even better to win it.
How does Steve Corica feel about his coaching experience at Auckland FC?
Yeah, totally. Because obviously tomorrow, big occasion at Go Hard Stadium. But last weekend at Go Hard Stadium, you sent everyone into conniptions with that. uh penalty shootout at one stage we we have we commentate super rugby and we were commentating that that went into like overtime and then it went into penalties we basically had super rugby on we had you guys we had the warriors we had the black caps i think we chucked the netty on as well it was like some sort of minority report so people listening to our coverage of the rugby got us going oh
To the football. How did you take it?
Yeah, I think that's what makes the game so special. I think, you know, we had to win that game. There was going to be a result at the end of the day. After 90 minutes, we thought we had done it. Yeah. Last kick of the game, basically. And it's hard mentally as well to get around that.
