澳大利亞隊的後衛克雷格穆爾稱，澳大利亞一定要在已經取得成績上繼續走下去，而為了這個目標，澳大利亞需要一個世界一流水平的教練來接替希丁克的工作。

　　希丁克已經宣佈世界盃結束以後將執教俄羅斯國家隊。他將這個32年來首次打入世界盃決賽階段的球隊帶到了16強的邊緣。在希丁克兢兢業業的調教之下，澳大利亞人以3比0戰勝了亞洲冠軍日本隊，同時也給世界冠軍巴西隊造成一定麻煩。他們與克羅地亞的比賽打平或獲勝就可以出線進入16強。

　　澳大利亞足協已經列出了一些可以代替希丁克的人選名單，但是後衛克雷格穆爾在賽前的新聞發佈會上説：“顯然，足協有自己的考慮人選，我覺得還是得要一個有著豐富經驗的人。因為我們同希丁克度過了一段非常美好的時光，這對球隊很有利。 找一個好教練對澳大利亞足球的未來很重要，我們至少不會倒退。我們可以持續進步。所有的這些都意味著我們需要一個一流的教練。”

　　原文:Aussies need first-class coach to replace Hiddink, says Moore

　　AFP

　　June 21, 2006

　　OHRINGEN (AFP) - Defender Craig Moore says it's vital that Australia carry on from the enormous success of Guus Hiddink and recruit a first-class head coach to take over after the World Cup.

　　Hiddink, recognised as one of the game's prominent coaches, heads off after the World Cup to take charge of the Russian national team, having taken Australia to the cusp of the second round in their first finals' campaign in 32 years.

　　The Australians have been a revelation in Germany under Hiddink's meticulous stewardship and have beaten Asian champions Japan and put up a strong showing against world champions Brazil.

　　Should they at least draw with Croatia in Stuttgart on Thursday they will advance to the last 16 of the World Cup.

　　Football Federation Australia (FFA) boss Frank Lowy is in Europe and believed to be sounding out several high-profile international candidates to replace Hiddink, but such is the momentum the Dutchman has given Australian football, that Moore sees the next appointment as imperative.

　　"Obviously, the FFA have got their names for the job, but I do believe that it needs someone with a huge amount of experience because it's been a fantastic experience with Guus and it can only obviously benefit the team," Moore said at the team pre-match press conference here Wednesday.

　　"It is important for the future of Australian football that we don't move backwards and we continue to improve and go forward and for me that means getting a first-class manager in.

　　"If that means (assistant) Graham Arnold or whoever there is going to be a lot of candidates because it is a nice job."

　　Such is Hiddink's profound effect on the game in Australia in his 11 months in charge, that a similar appointment looks unlikely, but with the Asian Cup finals next year, the 2008 Beijing Olympic football tournament and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa there is plenty ahead for Australian football.
