Jul 3, 2006, 9:55 GMT

Sydney - World Cup revelation Australia have turned to Frenchman Gerard Houllier to get them to the next tournament in South Africa in 2010, news reports said Monday. Guus Hiddink, Socceroos coach for just a year, took up a two-year contract to manage Russia after his side dropped out in the second round in a controversial defeat to Italy. Houllier, manager of French league champions Olympique Lyon, has for months been courted by Football Federation Australia (FFA) president Frank Lowy. According to local newspapers, Lowy has agreed to let Houllier see out the remaining year of his contract with Lyon before taking over from Socceroos assistant coach Graham Arnold. In his six years with English side Liverpool, Houllier won the UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup treble. Before his stint with Liverpool, Houllier put in place the national coaching programme in France that was rewarded with the 1998 World Cup and European Championship in 2000. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
