Photos (Top to Bottom): Sam Cocks (on the ball) will not be coaching Burnie United next season; Lino Sciulli is the man in charge at Launceston City; John Wheeler is the new supremo at Somerset; Tom McGinn, one of Tasmania's best-ever Scottish imports, is again at the helm of northern giants Devonport City [PlessPix]
Burnie United have yet to appoint a coach for the 2011 season.
Sam Cocks coached the side last season but has stood down. He has yet to decide where he will play next season.
Burnie had two applicants for the job, but one withdrew for personal reasons, while the other, an Argentinian, was expecting too much. He was hoping for a large salary and paid accommodation, amongst other things.
Meanwhile, John Wheeler has been appointed as coach of Somerset in the Forestry Tasmania Northern Premier League.
Tom McGinn will again coach Devonport, while Lino Sciulli is in charge of Launceston City and Adam Whitemore of champions Northern Rangers.

South Hobart have confirmed they will host South Melbourne in a tournament in Hobart in mid-January next year.
South Hobart travelled to Melbourne before last season and played South Melbourne there, so the Victorians will come here prior to the 2011 season.
They will arrive in Hobart on Thursday 13 January and games have been scheduled for Saturday 15 January and Sunday 16 January.
South Melbourne’s coach is the former Socceroo, Eddie Krncevic.
South Hobart have a new German fitness coach, so the squad should be fitter than ever.
Marcus Parschau is a sports science educator and will employ the latest techniques in fitness coaching.
South Hobart commence their pre-season training at Cornelian Bay on Thursday, 25 November, at 6.15pm.

Nice to see big man John Wheeler putting on his coaching hat again. I wish you well John, but he'll be a massive loss to the state programme after years of dedication.
Is there any updates with Kingborough Lions and Div 1 teams Walter?

To Sam Cocks and anyone else who is interested the Ulverstone preseason training schedule is on the Ulverstone SC website.
