Australia coach Pim Verbeek has announced that he will part company with the Socceroos after the World Cup in June. The former South Korea coach took over in December 2007, and has guided the side to its highest ever position of 14th in September of last year.

"It has been a very difficult decision for me after more than two years, but it is time for me to look for a new challenge," said Verbeek on Fifa.com. "I have enjoyed every minute of being head coach of Australia and we achieved some fantastic results including qualifying for the World Cup and the Asian Cup."

Verbeek leads Australia to the World Cup having amassed a record of 15 wins, eight draws and four defeats in 27 matches.
