The A-League Men is a professional soccer league in Australia which is at the top of the Australian league system.
Some of the people have served spells as caretaker (temporary) managers in the period between a managerial departure and appointment.
Several caretaker managers such as Tony Walmsley at Central Coast Mariners have gone on to secure a permanent managerial post.
As of 2023[update], Ernie Merrick, Mike Mulvey, John Aloisi, Marko Rudan and Tony Popovic are the only coaches to have managed more than two A-League Men clubs.
The dates of appointment and departure may fall outside the club's period in the A-League Men, for example, John Kosmina was appointed as Adelaide United manager in 2003 (before the A-League was formed in 2005) and remained in his position through the league's establishment.
