Liverpool great, Robbie Fowler edged around 100 other candidates to become the new coach of Australian A-League strugglers, Brisbane Roar .

The 44-year-old former England striker penned a two-year deal in his first significant job since hanging up his boots.

The former Liverpool midfielder took the position left vacant when ex-Socceroos striker John Aloisi quit in late December.

While reacting to his new appointment,Fowler dismissed concerns he lacked experience after he was appointed new on Tuesday.

ā€œIā€™m really looking forward to the challenge and am determined to bring success to a club that has such a proud history in the A-League,ā€ he said in a statement. Iā€™m really keen to get started and make a difference.ā€

Fowler was briefly player-coach of Thai club Muangthong United, and has worked extensively at Liverpoolā€™s academy, but other than that has no other senior coaching experience.
