Season Preview -
Central Coast Mariners playing right notes with Okon:
gettyimages-612344388.jpg


Legendary Australia player Paul Okon is the man at the helm at Central coast stadium this season and he is ready to give it a fair shake of the sauce bottle to get the Gosford based team back to the top.

There has been little to smile about at Central Coast Stadium the past two A-League seasons with the Mariners going from title holders in 2013-2014 to taking out the wooden spoon last time around.

Tony Walmsley was the second coach in two years get the chop and it will now be Okon's turn to revitalise the struggling club.

The former Socceroos great has pledged an Ange Postecoglou-inspired philosophy and will be out to get the most from what is a largely inexperienced side.

The addition of savvy veterans of Jacques Faty, Michael Tavares and Ivan Necevski will help balance the squad.

Okon's biggest challenge could very well be fixing a leaky defence which conceded 70 goals in 27 games last season.

Roy O'Donovan is back to lead the line this season while Fabio Ferierra will be one the Mariner's most dangerous threats in the front third.

Not much is expected of Central Coast this season but if Okon can get his team of young gun's marching to the beat of his drum then anything can happen.

Coach: Paul Okon

Captain: Nick Montgomery

Last season: 10th

Marquees: None

Ins: Mickael Tavares, Jacques Faty, Ivan Necevski (all Sydney FC), Kwabena Appiah (Wellington).

Outs: Joshua Rose (Melbourne City), Mitch Austin (Melbourne Victory), Luis Garcia, Daniel Heffernan (both released)

Coach says: "There's no mandate from (owner) Mike Charlesworth. It's try and win football games. For us it's just about being better than yesterday, and this season must be better than last season."

Star man Roy O'Donovan says: "It's a lot more positive with the new manager coming in. The style of play we're trying to play I think will work a treat."

Expert View: The entertainer Tony Walmsley is gone, and his replacement Paul Okon has been tasked with restoring pride and a winning mentality in Gosford. Challenging? Certainly. But the only way is up after the club's first wooden spoon. Former Young Socceroos coach Okon is well-versed in mentoring young players and has a few more experienced faces to help him in Jacques Faty, Mickael Tavares and skipper Nick Montgomery.

Predicted finish: 10th

Also left Connor pain off too.

But seriously, it's not hard to come up with a prediction of 10th. All clubs have recruited really well. It's on us to show them we are better than that.

The Central Coast Mariners have welcomed Dyldam into the Mariners Family as a Co-Major Sponsor
Friday, 7 October 2016 - @CCMariners
On the eve of the Central Coast Mariners first Hyundai A-League match of the season the club have signed a co-major sponsor in Dyldam, an award-winning Australian property development and construction company.
The Dyldam logo will appear on the front of the Mariners’ away kit whilst the MasterFoods logo will remain on the front of the Mariners’ home kit. Dyldam’s logo will also appear on the back of the club’s home kit.

Commencing on Saturday night against Perth Glory, the Central Coast Mariners will don their iconic yellow Umbro kit with the Dyldam logo featuring front and centre to symbolise the Mariners’ flagship away shirt partnership with Dyldam.

Central Coast Mariners’ CEO, Shaun Mielekamp touted the signing of Dyldam as a landmark occasion for the Central Coast Mariners and local region.



“I would like to thank Sam Fayad for showing the vision and confidence in not only the Central Coast Mariners but the whole Central Coast community,” Mielekamp said.

“To have national brands of the calibre of Dyldam pledging their support behind the Mariners is an indicator of what our future holds as a football club and a region.

“Everyone here in the Central Coast knows the potential and opportunity that the next few years presents in terms of growth and prosperity for the region. The Central Coast Mariners have a huge role to play for the region, showcasing the opportunities available to a national and international audience.

“Everyone who lives in the Coast knows that this is the life, we have the capacity and motivation to make sure that everyone across Australia looks to the Central Coast and thinks, wow, how good would it be to live there.

“It is with great pride that we launch such an important season in our history for the first time with two Co-Major Partners of enormous national stature.

“With Masterfoods we built some great brand awareness and giant sauce bottles, with Dyldam we can build anything and the future with them is brighter than our jersey,” Mielekamp said.

Dyldam’s Managing Director, Sam Fayad spoke of Dyldam’s relationship with the Mariners.

“Dyldam has been an active supporter of sport as a vehicle for building community spirit. Football is one of the fastest growing sports globally. Until today, we have sponsored junior football teams and watched their players develop. Now we have joined the A-League. It is an exciting new chapter,” stated Sam Fayad.
