Quote:Man United ace to coach Territory
April 27th, 2010
FORMER Manchester United and England player Paul Parker will coach the Northern Territory soccer team in the second installment of the ConocoPhillips Timor Sea Cup starting on Thursday.
The international under-18s tournament is held in Dili, East Timor until Sunday between teams from NT, East Timor and the Indonesian province of Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT).
The cup is a round-robin series of three games with a final played under Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) rules.
It will be the second time the Cup will be played after the inaugural tournament was held in Darwin in 2008. The event was considered a success with East Timor winning the final 3-0 over NT, and Parker will also be conducting coaching clinics during his stay in Dili.
The ConocoPhillips Timor Sea Cup has been secured for three years, with next year's cup being held in Darwin during the Arafura Games.http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2010/04/27/142801_ntsport.html
