Melbourne Victory confirmed the appointment of Marco Kurz as their head coach for the next two seasons.
The German, 50, replaces Kevin Muscat at the A-League giants, remaining in Australia after leaving Adelaide United.
Kurz, who has also previously coached the likes of 1860 Munich, Kaiserslautern and Hoffenheim, won the 2018 FFA Cup with Adelaide.
"It's an honour to be named as head coach of Melbourne Victory, a big club with a strong history, passionate fanbase and true drive for success," Kurz said in a statement on Friday.
"I've got to know Melbourne Victory from afar, and had tremendous respect for them during that time, so it is exciting to join the club.
