FFA chief executive David Gallop, who returned home from Europe on Friday, also admitted that Holger Osieck's position at the helm of the Socceroos came under scrutiny as early as June.

"It should not come as a surprise that we have been considering possible scenarios and options since the World Cup qualification period earlier this year," Gallop said.

"That is appropriate contingency planning. We would like to appoint the coach before the next FIFA window in November to give him the opportunity to work with the players ahead of the World Cup, the Asian Cup and beyond."

After discussions with FFA boss Frank Lowy, Gallop confirmed the next Socceroos coach will be an Australian.

"We have made contact with the A-League clubs of the three candidates mentioned and while the speculation is understandable it would not be appropriate to make further comment at this stage.

"The regeneration of the team is critical but producing a competitive outfit is not something that should only be a long-term goal. We want the Socceroos to strive for world class standards and to always punch above our weight on the global stage."

Central Coast Mariners coach Graham Arnold, who is a candidate for the job along with Ange Postecoglou and Tony Popovic, says he's been in contact with FFA and trusts they will make the right decision.

"I received a phone call myself to say that I was a candidate and they'd be in touch shortly," Arnold said on Friday.

"Again it's a decision that will get down to Frank Lowy and the technical department. Whatever happens, happens and it's just an honour to be included as one of the candidates, but also to have an Australian in charge is great for the game.

"I think all three of us have got good credentials."

Gallop added that Luke Casserly, the new head of National Performance, will lead a review of the Socceroos and the new coach will have input into that review.
