Mark had previously accepted Fury’s invitation to join the squad as a trainer in a mentoring capacity ahead of the club’s Hyundai A-League match against Newcastle Jets on Wednesday night. 

The plan was for the former Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa ‘keeper to train with the squad on Tuesday and then sit on the bench during the match to provide further assistance to the squad.

But due to strict guidelines surrounding what Mark can and can’t do in his capacity as “trainer”, he will no longer sit on the Fury bench during this match.

On confirming this decision, NQ Fury CEO, Rabieh Krayem said; “Mark is one of Australia’s best ever footballers and when we approached him to help the club out this week, it was as a trainer in a mentoring capacity.

"To have someone with his playing resume around the squad at training on Tuesday and on the bench during Wednesday’s match would have been an invaluable learning experience for this young Fury squad, whilst providing assistance to Robbie Middleby who will be running the football operations from the bench.

“Mark will still help the team later today and in the lead-up to the match, but because of these guidelines, the club has decided it would not be able to utilise his skills pitch-side during the match.

“With less than 48 hours until kick-off, this is naturally disappointing for all concerned but we will respect the guidelines as outlined by the FFA.”

Fury's football operations manager Robbie Middleby will now handle coaching responsibilties from the bench during the game - although he admits he is no more qualified than Bosnich in terms of coaching badges.
