Former Brisbane Roar and Australia national team coach Frank Farina is considering the vacant job at North Queensland Fury.

The Townsville club, which was recently taken over by Football Federation Australia, is currently going through a massive change after head coach Ian Ferguson quit to join Perth Glory as an assistant and uncertainty continues to surround players and staff as negotiations regarding new contracts take place.

Although Farina is unaware if he is eligible to apply for the position because of his current legal situation with the Roar who sacked him last year, he said it would be the perfect role for him to return to the coaching caper.

''It would be the perfect job,'' he told the Townsville Bulletin. ''I do want to get back into coaching ... I'll definitely throw my hat into the ring for a job up there.

''Well I have a legal issue with the Roar and the FFA have a stake in that club,'' Farina added.

''Now the FFA have a stake in keeping the Fury alive so I'm not too sure that really works out in my favour.''
