Former Socceroos captain Paul Okon will coach the Central Coast Mariners for at least the next two A-League seasons.Okon assumes the full-time role at the Mariners from Tony Walmsley, who was sacked this month after the team won just three games in the past season to finish last.It means Okon, who has previously coached the Australian under 20s, will have just five weeks to turn the team around before their opening A-League game of the season against Perth on October 8.But he wont have the services of assistant coach John Hutchison, who has parted ways with the Mariners following 12 years at the club.The announcement on Monday came only hours after Okons appointment.Hutchison made 228 A-League appearances as a player for Central Coast and captained them to their maiden championship in 2013.He then moved into a coaching role at the club where hes been since their inception.Central Coast said in a statement that Hutchison has reached a mutual agreement with the club that will see him pursue other opportunities.Okon, meantime, say he isnt concerned about the quick turnaround he has to get the Mariners ready for the new season.One thing that Ive learnt to accept and do my best with at a national team level has been preparing players with limited time so its not new to me at all, Okon said.Its a part of what Ive been doing for four and a half years.Any coach will tell you that they dont have enough time but Im happy with five weeks and confident that the type of football I want to play, I will be able to get across before round one.Okon played 28 matches for the Socceroos, and returned to Australia to play in 2006 with the Newcastle Jets.He then held an assistant coaching role at Gold Coast United in 2008, and has since played a key role in the nations youth teams.Mariners vice chairman Peter Storrie said they had received more than 60 applicants for the role, but saw Okons knowledge of youth as key in turning the Mariners around.In Paul we have an outstanding candidate that covers all areas for us, Storrie said.His extensive knowledge of young players across the country, understanding of the Hyundai A-League and understanding of the Central Coast Mariners were crucial decision making factors.Okons appointment also comes with the endorsement of Socceroos head coach Ange Postecoglou and the clubs football advisor Harry Redknapp.(Redknapp) also played an important role in the recruitment process and agreed with our final decision to appoint an Australian coach compared to the raft of overseas candidates who applied for the position, Storrie said.

Moments before the top-ranked male tennis player in the world, Novak Djokovic, stepped onto the court at Arthur Ashe stadium for his quarterfinal match, he needed to make a last minute change -- and it had nothing to do with his game or racket.Djokovic made a pit stop at the Julien Farel Salon, right on location at the US Open, where he received a quick hair trim before ultimately defeating his opponent Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.Its exciting for us, said Christina Gerald, director of brand strategy for the Julien Farel Group.
