Damian Mori
Encyclopedia
Damian Mori is an Australian football (soccer)
player who is (as of January 2011) the top scorer for the Socceroos. He is currently a player/manager at Adelaide City
in the South Australian Super League
.
He established a reputation as a pacy, poaching goalscorer, which is remarkable for a player who started his career as a defender. He has made his mark on both the domestic and international fronts.
's most important and best player, he spent a single season (1996/97) overseas in Germany
with Borussia Mönchengladbach
. This move was characterised only by frustration. He appeared in only six games, and never played more than half a match. In those six games, he didn't score once. Mori returned home to become NSL
Top Goalscorer the following season.
In 1996, Mori held the world record for the fastest goal after he scored for City in just 3.69 seconds in a 2-2 draw with Sydney United
.
In 2000, Mori transferred to Perth Glory
and enjoyed great success. The striking partnership with Bobby Despotovski
was renowned as one of the most potent in the competition. Mori won the NSL
championship in 2002-03, scoring in the Grand Final. He was also part of the 2003-04 Perth Glory
championship side.
Following the end of the National Soccer League
in 2004 he moved back to Adelaide City
to play and coach in the South Australian Premier League. He was extremely successful here, winning the "Coach of the Year" award. However, many were surprised at the fact that the NSL
all-time top goalscorer was not on the shortlist of any A-League
club.
It later emerged that a major stumbling block was Mori's desire for a part-time contract to allow him to manage business interests in Adelaide
. Prior to round 4 of the A-League season, it was announced that Perth Glory
had signed Mori on a short term contract to replace injured defender David Tarka
. Mori subsequently came on as a substitute in the Glory's 1 - 0 away win over the New Zealand Knights on 22 September 2005. After some excellent displays, particularly a brace against Newcastle United Jets
and a hat-trick against Adelaide United, the club strongly desired a permanent deal. After some wrangling with Adelaide City
chairman Bob D'Ottavi, Mori agreed to a 1 year deal.
On 9 December 2005, it was announced that Damian Mori would be appointed as Assistant Manager at Perth Glory
. This appointment followed the elevation of Alan Vest
to Manager after the departure of Steve McMahon
. After the completion of the 2005-06 A-League Season
, Mori returned to Adelaide City
as player/manager.
On 27 September 2006 Mori signed with the Central Coast Mariners
on a short term deal to cover the loss of Nik Mrdja
which was extended once. After the short term contract with the Mariners had expired, the FFA
did not allow Central Coast to resign him. On 21 November 2006, he was approached by new Queensland Roar manager Frank Farina
and signed the following day on a short-term "until the end of the season" contract. After the Roar failed to make the playoffs, Mori returned to SA to be the player-coach once again of defending South Australian champions Adelaide City.
on 4 September 1992. In an international career that spanned over the next ten years, he was capped 45 times and scored an impressive 29 goals. He is the all-time top goalscorer of the Australian national team
.
