A-League Men News
Mark Milligan has turned the Newcastle Jets into the A-League's must-watch side. Meanwhile, things look like they're turning sour at the Wanderers.

Steve Rosich has been tasked with revitalising the A-League after being appointed the Australian Professional League's chief executive.
Under pressure and looking for a hero, Melbourne Victory found the win they needed thanks to some sumptuous play from Juan Mata.
