SYDNEY FC have finally got their man.
Two years after spurning them, Graham Arnold has agreed to coach the Sky Blues and take on the challenge of restoring the glamour to the underachieving A-League club.
A month after cutting short his experiment in Japan, the former Central Coast Mariners boss has signed a three-year contract to replace Frank Farina after the club decided not to pursue any overseas options.
In 2012, Arnold was heavily pursued by Sydney while still at the Mariners and had all-but agreed a deal when he dramatically changed his mind and extended his contract in Gosford.
Now he will have the chance to shape the Sydney side in his image, with Alessandro Del Piero having departed and almost half the squad out of contract.

Arnold will bring in his long-term fitness coach Andrew Clark to oversee an overhaul of the sports science side at Sydney and is understood to have total control of player recruitment.
The Daily Telegraph last week revealed the new coach would have a $2 million war chest for two marquee signings following the departure of Del Piero and retirement of former Socceroo Brett Emerton.
Arnold brings to the club a remarkable resume, that includes both a Premiers Plate and a championship in three years at the Mariners, in addition to a decade of service for the Socceroos.
The 50-year-old coach was thought to be a shoo-in for the Newcastle Jets' head coaching role last week, but declined the role after talks with Sydney were revealed in The Daily Telegraph last week.

Now Arnold faces one of the most challenging roles in Australian football as he becomes the eighth coach in nine years.
Since winning the title in 2010, Sydney have played just two finals matches, despite racking up the highest wage bill in the A-League.
Football Federation Australia technical director Han Berger, who joined the Sydney board after the World Cup, is has been heavily involved in the selection of the new coach and has a longstanding relationship with Arnold from the latter's time with the national team.
