After the shock resignation of Maj before the Premier League season has even begun, the Glenorchy Knights have wasted no time in appointing new manager Buckets007 for the upcoming season.
Buckets007 is young blood in the world of Premier League managers however has coached from his early teens, working his way up the ranks to end up in the big time some 7 years later. he beat several high profile managers to the job, which the Knights hope that this injection of a young coach will bring new ideas and a new winning style.
Buckets007 had this to say on his appointment: “I put it down to the success I have had with teams in the lower leagues. I knew it was a long shot in applying for the position due to my “inexperience” compared to other managers who were vying for the position. However the way i turned around clubs in a short space of time who were mediocre or poor in the local leagues, I believe made me stand out to them and give them the hope that I can have the same success here with the Knights.”
The Knights play the Adelaide Chargers at Adelaide in Round 1 and then travel to play Sky Sports in the first round of the Champions League. “Travelling twice in 2 weeks isn’t what i call an ideal start to the season but we hope we can win at least 1 of those games and then come home to a massive crowd and put on a show.”
