The Great Coaches: Leadership & Life

Nick Montgomery is a former professional soccer player and now coach.

As a player he started his career in England most notable playing 349 games for Sheffield United.

In 2012 he moved to Australia and played for the Central Coast Mariners. In 2018 he started as an Assistant coach at the Mariners before being appointed as Head Coach in 2021. In just his second season he led the team to A -league championship where they beat the more fancied and resourced Melbourne City 6-1. And in 2023 was appointed Head Coach at Scottish club Hibernian

Some of the highlight were:

• The way Nick goes about understanding what drives each individual, how this fuels his belief that people can change; and the results he had at the Mariners to prove this.
• How he was able to turn a team with one of the lowest salary budgets into premiers by building on what he calls a siege mentality, coupled with seasoned professionals and young energetic players and his own unshakeable belief.
• And The role that visualization played in the story of their underdog championship.
