Christopher John Coyne (born 20 December 1978) is an Australian former soccer player and coach who is currently head of Perth Glory Youth NPL in National Premier Leagues Western Australia (NPLWA).

After loan spells at Brentford and Southend and one appearance for West Ham against Leeds United,[4][5] Coyne moved to Scottish Premier League club Dundee on a free transfer in March 2000.

He scored an own goal on his debut for Luton against Lincoln City in September 2001,[10] but successfully established himself in the first team, making 31 appearances in that season,[11] despite suffering a knee ligament in December 2001 that sidelined him for several weeks,[12] and helping Luton to set a club record of winning twelve successive games and to promotion to Division Two.

[30] Coyne was named Colchester United club captain for the 2008–09 season,[31] but selection for the Australia national team, injuries and a change of management meant that he struggled to hold on to a place in the first team,[32] and at the end of the season, he met with the club management to resolve his future.

Also, there isn't much of a chance for the Australian manager to watch League One football but in Australia, I'm guaranteed to play 27 games in front of him.

[36] On 5 March 2010 it was announced that Coyne had signed on loan to Chinese Super League club Liaoning Hongyun as a means to improve his chances of being selected for Australia during the 2010 World Cup.

[38] (to end of 2008–09 season) Coyne was brought into the Australian squad for the World Cup 2010 qualifiers against Iraq and Qatar in June 2008.

[48] He followed these with a strong performance against Uzbekistan in Australia's 1–0 victory in their opening final stage pool game for the 2010 World Cup in September 2008.

[51] His next appearances were in June 2009 as Australia drew with Qatar to secure their place in the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa,[52] and followed that up a few days later with a 2–0 win over Bahrain.

[54] (to 21 June 2009) In 2013 Coyne took on the head coach role at Bayswater City SC in the WA Premier League.
