Buckingham is a highly-respected coach who has a proven track record of success at both club and international level. He has previously worked as an assistant coach at New Zealand's national team and as the head coach of New Zealand's U-20 team.
Buckingham is expected to bring a new style of play to Melbourne City and is looking to build a team that can challenge for the A-League title. He will be assisted by former Melbourne City player and assistant coach Warren Joyce.
