Former Socceroos captain Paul Okon will coach the Central Coast Mariners for at least the next two A-League seasons.Okon assumes the full-time role at the Mariners from Tony Walmsley, who was sacked this month after the team won just three games in the past season to finish last.It means Okon, who has previously coached the Australian under 20s, will have just five weeks to turn the team around before their opening A-League game of the season against Perth on October 8.But he wont have the services of assistant coach John Hutchison, who has parted ways with the Mariners following 12 years at the club.The announcement on Monday came only hours after Okons appointment.Hutchison made 228 A-League appearances as a player for Central Coast and captained them to their maiden championship in 2013.He then moved into a coaching role at the club where hes been since their inception.Central Coast said in a statement that Hutchison has reached a mutual agreement with the club that will see him pursue other opportunities.Okon, meantime, say he isnt concerned about the quick turnaround he has to get the Mariners ready for the new season.One thing that Ive learnt to accept and do my best with at a national team level has been preparing players with limited time so its not new to me at all, Okon said.Its a part of what Ive been doing for four and a half years.Any coach will tell you that they dont have enough time but Im happy with five weeks and confident that the type of football I want to play, I will be able to get across before round one.Okon played 28 matches for the Socceroos, and returned to Australia to play in 2006 with the Newcastle Jets.He then held an assistant coaching role at Gold Coast United in 2008, and has since played a key role in the nations youth teams.Mariners vice chairman Peter Storrie said they had received more than 60 applicants for the role, but saw Okons knowledge of youth as key in turning the Mariners around.In Paul we have an outstanding candidate that covers all areas for us, Storrie said.His extensive knowledge of young players across the country, understanding of the Hyundai A-League and understanding of the Central Coast Mariners were crucial decision making factors.Okons appointment also comes with the endorsement of Socceroos head coach Ange Postecoglou and the clubs football advisor Harry Redknapp.(Redknapp) also played an important role in the recruitment process and agreed with our final decision to appoint an Australian coach compared to the raft of overseas candidates who applied for the position, Storrie said.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- Trailing by a goal at halftime, Oscar Pareja made a request of his team. "We were behind by a goal and hadnt played badly," the Colorado Rapids coach said. "We needed to take more control of the tempo." The Rapids did just that. Jaime Castrillon scored the tying goal in the 70th minute and the Colorado Rapids extended their unbeaten streak to seven games with a 2-2 draw with Real Salt Lake on Saturday. "I am proud of the team for the way they responded," Pareja said. "The boys showed what they are made of in the second half." Castrillons goal off a header was his first of the season. Deshorn Brown added a goal for Colorado (9-7-8). The Rapids are 4-0-3 in their past seven games after a 0-4-1 stretch. Midfielder Atiba Harris left in the first half with a right quad injury. The Rapids were already without Hendry Thomas, who served the first of a two-game suspension after receiving a second yellow card in last weeks game with Los Angeles. The game was halted for an hour and two minutes in the first half due to lightening in the area. Several downpours of rain made for difficult field conditions. "The weather really didnt bother us," Brown said. "We were concentrating so much on getting the three points." Alvero Saborio and Ned Grabavoy scored goals for Real Salt Lake (11-7-5). Real Salt Lake maintained a three-point lead over Colorado for first place in the Western Conference. "That was the most critical part of the game," Real Salt Lake Robbie Findley said. "We would hhave liked to have come out of here with three points, but we are glad we came out of this with a point.dddddddddddd" Real Salt Lake scored a minute and 20 seconds into the game when former Rapids player Kyle Beckerman found Grabavoy in front of the left post. Grabavoy easily beat Clint Irwin for his fifth goal of the season. Brown got the equalizer for the Rapids in the ninth minute with his sixth goal. Brown outmuscled Nat Borchers for the ball inside the scoring zone and lofted a kick over goalkeeper Nick Rimando into the net. Findley drew a penalty kick when was hauled down by Colorado defender Drew Moor in the 21st minute. The kick was delayed when play was halted due to lightening in the area. When play was resumed, Saborio converted the penalty kick in the 21st minute. Irwin had no chance on the ball that whistled past his right hand. Irwin showed his frustration by shoving Saborio to the ground after the goal, earning a yellow card. Rain continued to fall at a steady rate throughout the second half. Rimando made two saves on shots in the 53rd minute. The second was made on Castrillon with Rimando on his knees. Colorado went on the offensive for the winning goal. Castrillon got behind the Real Salt Lake defence and Christopher Klute found him with a cross. Castrillon sent a header past Rimando. "I was thought it was great the way we came out and scored our first goal and then got the lead on the penalty kick," Real Salt Lake coach Jason Kries said. "And then we had the really bad play between two experienced players."
