Arnold has accrued plenty of experience working with both top level players and coaches, having served under Guus Hiddink at the 2006 World Cup.

When the Dutch tactician quit the Socceroos, Arnold became acting coach but it is thought Dick Advocaat has been primed to take over the position on a permanent basis.

Arnold is eager to try his hand in England and is also thought to be interested in the vacant post at Norwich.
