Former Socceroo Zeljko Kalac is poised to be named the next head coach of Sydney United as he looks to show his tactician skills extend beyond goalkeeping.
The Covert Agent can reveal Kalac is close to take charge of the club he played for as a junior and made over 100 seniors appearances.
Kalac has been working voluntarily as an assistant with Sydney United and saw the side recently lose the NSW National Premier League final 2-1 to APIA Leichhardt.
The former AC Milan custodian has previously worked as a goalkeeping coach with three A-League clubs - Sydney FC, Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne City.
