Melbourne Victory have appointed Venezuelan Giovanni Savarese as A-League Men coach in a bid to add an international flavour to the club.
The 54-year-old, who has experience in South America, Europe and the United States, has taken a two-season contract to replace Arthur Diles.
Savarese has coached in the US, initially at New York Cosmos whom he steered to three NASL championships in 2013, 2015 and 2016.
