However, there is also a report which says Newcastle Jets new billionaire owner have sign a multi-year contract with the Yugoslavian and have also asked to bring his son, Jason Culina (ex-PSV and current Socceroo) to the club.
The Yugoslavia born Coach has his share of more than 20 years work experience in Australia, where he has worked with major A-League sides like Sydney FC, Melbourne Knights etc. He was named as the manager of Newcastle United Jets FC from the start of the A-League 2009-10 season and given a two year contract.
