Arthur Diles, the head coach of Melbourne Victory, has been awarded Coach of the Month for March in the Isuzu UTE A-League.
This marks the fifth coaching accolade of the 2025-26 season, following February’s winner, Mark Milligan from Newcastle Jets.
During the eligibility period in March, Diles led his team to two victories and a draw, keeping them firmly in contention for a place in the Finals Series.
Currently, Melbourne Victory holds the fourth position on the Isuzu UTE A-League standings, trailing Auckland FC in second place by five points while being five points ahead of seventh-placed Wellington Phoenix.
Diles earned his nomination for the March accolade through Football Coaches Australia’s monthly selection process.

The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) has collaborated with the FCA since 2022-23 to ensure exceptional coaching performances in both the Isuzu UTE A-League and Ninja A-League receive the recognition they deserve.
A skilled panel assembled by the FCA is responsible for selecting the monthly nominees and ultimately determining the winners for the Coach of the Month award across both leagues.
The March eligibility window encompassed Rounds 20-22 of the Isuzu UTE A-League, with matches held between March 6 and March 22 being considered by the FCA Panel in their voting for nominees.
