Harry Kewell has made the perfect start to the biggest job yet of his managerial career, overseeing Yokohama F. Marinos' drive into the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League.
The former Socceroos ace, who's seeking to continue the great Australian tradition that's been established at the Japanese club by Kevin Muscat and Ange Postecoglou, hailed their last-16 win over Bangkok United on Wednesday as "something special'.
But it was a nervy night for the 45-year-old, overseeing his first home game with Yokohama, as they only eked out their 1-0 win in the dying seconds of extra-time to progress 3-2 on aggregate.
