Kevin Vincent Muscat (born 7 August 1973) is an Australian former

Australia national team
at international level winning 46 caps and scoring 10 goals between 1994 and 2006.

After beginning his professional career in the

Wolverhampton Wanderers, Rangers and Millwall. He returned to Australia in 2005 for the first time since leaving South Melbourne in 1996 to captain Melbourne Victory in the inaugural season of the A-league. His playing style was brutal defence with little regard for accumulating yellow cards or avoiding injury to opponents, a reputation that was so strong that while at Rangers he was never picked for an Old Firm derby due to the perceived risk that his explosive temper causing a major incident or costing Rangers the match by being sent off. He ended his A-League career in disgrace after deliberately injuring Adrian Zahra
with a disgraceful tackle that was widely describe as an assault by the football media.

Muscat retired from professional football in March 2011 after Melbourne Victory's 2011 AFC Champions League campaign, citing his growing frustration at his inability to keep pace with the game.[2][3][4] Muscat briefly rejoined his former club Sunshine George Cross for part of the 2011 Victorian State League Division 1 season.[5]

During his international career, Muscat represented the

Australia U-23 side at the 1996 Summer Olympics. After making his full international debut for Australia in September 1994 against Kuwait, Muscat represented the national side at the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup, 2000 OFC Nations Cup, 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup
.

After several seasons as an assistant coach, Muscat was appointed head coach at Melbourne Victory in October 2013. He has coached Victory to the 2014–15 A-League Premiership, the 2014–15 A-League Championship and success in the 2015 FFA Cup. He left the role in 2019.

Club career

Early life

Born in

Victorian Junior Player of the year.[7]

South Melbourne FC

He continued playing in the NSL for

Mostly deployed as a left-back, Muscat's aggressiveness and defensive awareness made him a standout performer in the league which attracted international attention. During his time at South, he was called up to the Olyroos.

In 1995–96 he trialled at

Crystal Palace and signed Muscat for the south London club[8] for £35,000 from South Melbourne Hellas.[9] In his departure Muscat thanked the South Melbourne fans for their support towards him.[10]

Crystal Palace

Muscat was part of the Palace team that subsequently won promotion to the English

Wolverhampton Wanderers for £200,000 in October 1997.[9]

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Muscat remained at Wolves for five seasons before moving to Scotland to join Rangers on a free transfer in July 2002.[6]

Rangers

Muscat was part of the Rangers squad which won a treble of domestic trophies in 2002–03 season.[12] He helped the club’s defence kept six consecutive clean sheets in the league between 25 August 2002 and 28 September 2002.[13] Muscat would end his career in Scotland having played 22 times for Rangers.

Millwall

Muscat's final British club was

Millwall, for whom he played from 2003 to 2005. In 2004, he captained Millwall to the FA Cup Final
for the first time in their history.

He missed the final itself after suffering a knee ligament injury in the semi-final against Sunderland, although the Millwall manager Dennis Wise insisted on him being presented with a medal. He left Millwall to return to Australia to become Melbourne Victory's inaugural captain in the 2005–06 season. Under Victory manager Ernie Merrick, Muscat, a defender for virtually his entire career, moved to midfield for the 2006–07 season. He remained the captain until 2011.

In February 2011, Muscat announced his intention to retire from club football after the conclusion of the

Altona Magic in August 2011.[18]

International career

Muscat represented Australia at Under-20 level at the

captained the national team five times from April 2001 and scored a critical penalty in the 1–0 home leg of Australia's unsuccessful play-off against Uruguay for a place in the finals of the 2002 FIFA World Cup
.

Muscat was dropped from the squad when coach

A-League based players to prepare for 2010 FIFA World Cup
qualifiers, but he did not play in any subsequent fixtures.

Reputation

Muscat in 2007 next to the A-League 2006/07 championship trophy

In 1996, Muscat was sent off in his first season in the UK in a match involving

Norwich City after body checking Norwich player Darren Eadie which then sparked a 21-man melee where punches were thrown. Two other players were also sent off in the incident.[22]

Muscat was branded a "lowlife" and a "nobody" by ex-England striker Ian Wright, then of Nottingham Forest, in September 1999. Wright claimed he was about to shoot when he heard Dougie Freedman, Forest's other striker, shout "leave it". Wright stepped over the ball to allow Freedman to hit it, but instead Muscat (who had, according to Wright, merely impersonated Freedman) appeared to clear the ball.[23]

Muscat was dubbed the "most hated man in football" by then Birmingham City player Martin Grainger in 2000 after a reckless tackle against international teammate, Stan Lazaridis.[24] He seriously injured both Craig Bellamy and Christophe Dugarry, the latter in a friendly international between Australia and France in 2001 with a sliding tackle from behind.[24] The French manager Roger Lemerre dubbed the tackle "an act of brutality".[24][25] It was speculated that Muscat's temperament was the reason he was never selected for inclusion in an Old Firm derby during his time at Rangers.[26]

In March 2002, Muscat was sent off after nine minutes in a match against

Wolves lost the match and Muscat was suspended for three matches following the incident.[27]

In 2003, after only three weeks since signing for Millwall, Muscat was fined and reprimanded by Millwall after a match against Watford where he gave away a penalty and was sent off for stamping on Watford's Danny Webber. Millwall chief executive, Ken Brown, formally warned Muscat that he would be sacked if he did not "clean up his act." "Kevin's actions were totally unacceptable. We have made him aware that such behavior will not be tolerated. Any repeat of such a deliberate, unprovoked, off-the-ball incident will result in his instant dismissal."[28][29]

In 2004, a lawsuit on Muscat brought by former

League Cup tie while at Millwall, he grabbed the throat of Liverpool striker Milan Baroš.[32] Also in 2004, Iwan Roberts admitted he deliberately stamped on Muscat in a match against Norwich City in revenge for his attempt to injure Craig Bellamy in 1999. Roberts was subsequently fined and suspended by The Football Association for his comments.[33]

In March later that year while playing for Millwall, Muscat was red carded and suspended for five games for a challenge from behind on Sheffield United player, Ashley Ward which ignited an on-field brawl that involved most players from both teams. Sheffield United went on to win the game 2–1 despite having goalkeeper Paddy Kenny sent off alongside Muscat, and as Millwall players were walking off the pitch, Blades manager Neil Warnock was seen shaking players’ hands while also saying “serves you right for f*cking Muscat, that” – one of which being former Chelsea assistant manager, Jody Morris.[34]

In December 2005, he was the first A-League player to appear before a

Adelaide United coach John Kosmina, knocking Kosmina from his chair while retrieving the ball. Kosmina responded by grabbing Muscat by the throat, an action for which Kosmina was suspended for four matches.[36][37]

Muscat's dominant personality and aggressive style did win some admirers in the

A-League, with former England international Terry Butcher stating "Every manager in the A-League would love to have Kevin, and I'm no exception".[38]

In February 2009, Muscat "escaped" further sanction by the

Adelaide United defender, Daniel Mullen, while challenging for the ball. Due to the referee seeing the incident during the match, as according to A-League protocol, the Match Review Panel had no authority to intervene any further.[39]

In January 2010, Muscat was suspended for two games for elbowing

Gold Coast United midfielder, Jason Culina, in an off the ball incident.[40]

In October 2010,

Manchester United winger Ashley Young recalled he was threatened by Muscat during his first professional match as an 18-year-old. "Kevin Muscat said he would break my legs if I went past him," said Young. Their meeting occurred as they were warming up for an encounter between Watford and Millwall back in September 2003, but Muscat was sent off for stamping on Watford's Danny Webber before Young came on as substitute for Watford.[41]

In January 2011, Muscat was sent off for elbowing

Adam Hughes in the face while following through on a challenge for the ball.[42]

In his first match back from suspension, Muscat was then suspended for eight matches following a tackle on

Melbourne Derby.[43][44] The tackle was widely condemned in Australia and around the world, with former Socceroo Mark Bosnich calling it a "disgrace".[45][46]

In a professional career spanning 19 years from 1992 to 2011, Muscat received 123 yellow cards and 12 red cards.[47][48][20][49]

In December 2013, the Spanish football website El Gol Digital named Muscat as football's dirtiest ever player.[50]

Coaching career

Melbourne Victory

Kevin Muscat alongside Melbourne Victory chairman Anthony Di Pietro at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in October 2013.

For the final two years of his playing career, Muscat served as a playing assistant coach under

Byun Sung-Hwan.[54]

After an underwhelming tenure as Melbourne Victory manager, in which he recorded just two wins in 12 matches, Magilton left the Victory at the conclusion of the

Australia,[57] with Postecoglou departing the Victory after their Round 3 win against Postecoglou's former club, Brisbane Roar. Having served under four managers since his appointment as assistant coach,[58] Muscat was subsequently appointed as Postecoglou's successor on 31 October 2013, three games into the 2013–14 season, on a two-year contract.[51][59][60][61]

In his first full season as Melbourne Victory manager, and just his second year in charge of the club, Muscat guided Melbourne Victory to an A-League premiership-championship double in 2015, the Victory's third A-League premiership/championship double. Under Muscat, the Victory finished with a regular season record of 15 wins 8 draws and 4 losses, with a final points tally of 53 points, three points ahead of second placed Sydney FC and a final goal difference of +25, the highest of any club that season. Muscat guided the Victory to a 3–0 win over Melbourne City in the semi-finals, before recording a 3–0 win over Sydney FC at AAMI Park.

In June 2017, Muscat, along with Darren Davies and Ross Aloisi, were called up by Ange Postecoglou to serve as members of Australia's coaching staff for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.[62][63]

Sint-Truidense

On 5 June 2020 Muscat was announced as the manager for

Belgian First Division A team Sint-Truidense V.V., however just six months later he was sacked due to poor results.[64]

Yokohama F. Marinos

Muscat was appointed manager of Yokohama F. Marinos in July 2021, succeeding Ange Postecoglou as he had at Melbourne Victory, and won the J1 League title in 2022.[65]

Shanghai Port

On 17 December 2023 Muscat was appointed manager of Shanghai Port following the departure of Javier Pereira. [66]
