VPL1/2 Victoria Men's Coach of the Year
The birth of the National Premier Leagues Victoria in 2014 witnessed a rebranded semi-professional second tier, and with it came a Coach of the Year award which provided the next generation with an opportunity to claim personal honours. Anthony Barbieri and Micky Colina shared the first ever NPL2 Coach of the Year award, with former Richmond and Melbourne Victory hero James Robinson following up in 2015. The late Jim Williams won the award in 2019, achieving promotion with Eastern Lions in what would be his final season.
