My Take
Adam Griffiths is, to me, more compelling as a coach than he ever was as a player. Born in Sydney in 1979, he transitioned from playing into management and rebuilt Manly United into an attacking force in the NSW lower leagues, earning NPL Coach of the Year before stepping up to lead A-League's Perth Glory. That is a grind-it-out climb, not a glamorous shortcut. What I trust about him is the ability to take whatever squad he's handed and visibly transform its identity. Coaches who prove themselves on the ground floor of a football pyramid earn my respect, and Griffiths clearly has.
