The Newcastle Herald understands that home-grown coaches Mark Jones and Clayton Zane are being considered for positions on the support staff.
Miller, at 33, will become the youngest head coach in the history of the A-League.
He has a UEFA Alicence as well as sports science and psychology degrees and was head coach of the under-21 side at Fulham, where former Jets golden boot Adam Taggart now plays.
Miller joined the Premier League and now Championship club in 2007 and was a member of Ange Postecoglou’s backroom staff at the Socceroos in 2013.
Postecoglou headed the FFA coaching panel in charge of appointing the new Jets coach.
Initially a strength and conditioning coach, Miller has filled a variety of roles at Craven Cottage and has worked under current England boss Roy Hodgson, Mark Hughes, Martin Jol, Rene Muelensteen and Felix Magath.
De Marigny, 51, returns for a second stint in Newcastle.
He coached the Jets for their inaugural game, a World Club Challenge qualifier against Central Coast, before assisting Englishman Richard Money in the maiden season of the A-League.
De Marigny joined Victory in 2013 as an assistant for Kevin Muscat’s first season in charge.
He spent two years in the Victorian capital and was instrumental in the Victory’s 2014-15 championship success.
The Jets have been without a coach since Phil Stubbins was let go after Football Federation Australia took over the club from Nathan Tinkler last month.
Fox Sports analyst Mark Rudan and former Socceroos striker Damian Mori had been linked to the position.
The Jets assemble for pre-season training on Monday and have 13 senior players on the roster.
Miller and De Marigny are expected to join Jets chief executive Mitchell Murphy and A-League boss Damien De Bohun at a members forum at Newcastle Panthers on Thursday night.
The forum follows a meeting of business leaders last week.
‘‘The No.1 emphasis of the forum is for us is to listen, not preach,’’ Murphy said.
‘‘We want to hear what they’ve got to say and answer the members’ questions.
‘‘We want to engage in conversation on a variety of topics that we expect to come up, and do a lot of listening.
‘‘At the end of the day this is a new beginning for the club and it’s a wonderful opportunity to set the right foundation.
‘‘The backbone of the club is the membership base.
‘‘It’s going to be an easier journey with them totally engaged and feeling like they’re an integral part of what our future plans are.’’
Finally some decent coaching staff... Just hope they can attract some top quality players and not just settle for anyone (eg welsh, gallagher etc) just to make up the numbers
Brillant, very happy with this.
Zane or Jones to be NYL Coach?
from the presser today!
The licence for the A-League club in Newcastle is being operated by FFA while ownership models are being explored.
ownership models.
thats gott mean theire considering something other than the big rich bloke paying all the bills then going broke.
http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/sp...close-1.884190Details of Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson’s involvement in plans to save a beleaguered Australian club could become clearer later this week.
For months now, Thompson has been linked with a rescue mission to resurrect the Hyundai A League outfit Newcastle Jets.
They are being run by Aussie football authorities after their owner, mining magnate Nathan Tinkler, was stripped of his football licence last month because of unpaid debts.
Since then, Thompson is understood to have been in detailed discussion to help get the Jets back on their feet.
While that’s been happening, Football Federation Australia have been ploughing ahead with work to make sure there is a team in place for next season.
They’ve appointed a head coach and re-signed most of last year’s squad.
But they need help with the running of the club in the long term and view Thompson’s experience with United as an important part of that. What they don’t appear to be looking for is a new outright owner.
They’ve been carrying out a series of meetings with the football community in Newcastle in a bid to get them involved in what would effectively be a reborn club.
On Wednesday, they plan to hold a final community forum to seek the views of the various interested parties.
It’s in the days after that details of the new structure could be announced.
Confidentially agreements mean Thompson cannot comment but he has repeatedly stressed United will remain his No 1 priority.
To that end, he has been in close contact with manager Jackie McNamara, despite him being on a break last week, in a bid to get done as much of the Tangerines’ transfer business as possible in time for the players reporting back for pre-season training early next month.
United are in the market for a goalkeeper, a centre-half and, with the news Calum Butcher is on the verge of returning south, a midfielder.
Ideally, gaffer Jackie McNamara would like his new faces in by the time United head to the Netherlands on July 9 for a week-long stay and games against Vitesse Arnhem the following day and FC Utrecht on July 16.
FFA have said all along that theyre more looking towards a consortium to take over, not just one guy. And Thompson has said he has no interest in owning the club solely, which is why he was here the other week, meeting with other interested "parties" to try to build a consortium
What happened to that Fiorrentini thing
Fiorentini - "We are still waiting, me and the company who I represent, news from FFA. It seems like they want to let Newcastle in aussie's hands. And I guess it's not right, at least one chance must be given. There's no trace of investors out the FFA 's door, no long term business plan for the club. But they give you just rumors about players staying, coaches comes.. Who decides that? With which money they are doing all this kind of stuffs? Unbelievable... Sorry about that, but you should at least informed about what's going on at high level management.."
The big rich c*** was just a fat fraud. fk off you pos

Nathan Tinker missed Jets payments
By JAMES GARDINER
AN adminstrator's report has shed light on the amount of money Nathan Tinkler outlaid when he took over the Newcastle Jets in 2010.
Tinkler has often stated that he paid $5 million to buy the A-League club when he took over from the financially embattled Con Constantine.
That figure formed the basis of the $5 million price tag he put on the club a year ago before performing a backflip and taking it off the market.
However, a detailed history of the transaction obtained by the Herald shows Tinkler only partly paid for the club before attempting to hand back his A-League licence in 2012.
The records show that on September 22, 2010, after the exit of Constantine, Tinkler entered a club participation agreement with Football Federation Australia in which he was required to pay an acquisition fee of $3.5 million and a licence fee of $1 million.
The money was to be paid in instalments over 4½ years, starting with an initial payment of $500,000 on the execution of the agreement.
But insolvency experts Shaw-Gidley, in an administrator's report after Tinkler placed the club into voluntary administration, found the mining magnate failed to meet those payments, with the exception of the first $500,000.
On June 30, 2011, with Tinkler $1.5 million in arrears, the FFA began withholding a $100,000 monthly grant as part settlement.
In February 2012, Tinkler, through Hunter Sports Group, alleged he had been overcharged after former A-League boss Archie Fraser revealed in the Herald that an acquisition fee had not been part of negotiations in previous club sales.

On April 10, Tinkler moved to return the A-League licence to the FFA, two years into a 10-year agreement, and sought compensation in respect to the licence and acquisition fees he had paid.
The governing body countered with the threat of a lawsuit and a $100 million damages claim.
The dispute was resolved after a meeting between Tinkler and FFA chairman Frank Lowy in a Brisbane airport hangar on May 1.
Financial details of the meeting, which included an agreed settlement to former Jets marquee Jason Culina after he was sacked a year into a three-year, $2.65 million contract, were confidential.
It is widely understood that Tinkler's initial buy-in figure of $4.5 million was reduced.
In a television interview a fortnight after the Brisbane meeting Lowy, said: "I flew to Brisbane, where he was working, and I met him and we sorted it out.
"I think life is about compromise.
"He had a beef about certain things and, of course, I compromised and he was happy that I got there."
It is unclear if the agreed amount has been settled in full.
So Tinks in actual fact only paid $500k of the total $4.5 million ($3.5 mill acquisition fee and $1 mill licence fee) to acquire the Jets!!!
Okay the first year he made the payment, second year doesn't make the payment FFA you would think should be asking "Please explain"
Third year of non-payment the licence should have been taken off him but FFA allowed this bullshit to drag on for yet another season!!!
Okay it's happened and it's in the past now and FFA finally stepped in but they bloody-well owe it to the football community of this region that they get the ownership structure 100% right this time.
Makes one also think what was Middleby doing these past few years in his position as CEO???
How could he turn a blind-eye to these non-payments and pretend all was hunky-dory with the club???
If he at least had the balls to resign a year or two ago and tell the truth with what was going on at the club, supporters and players/staff would not had to have endured the "season from hell".
Has a lot to answer for, Middleby and in my opinion has got off very very lightly in the aftermath of the demise of Tinkler's reign!!!
How long was I saying saying Middleby was part of the problem and everyone else kept on saying it wasn't him?
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
Was only there for his wage and seat on the halfway line.
I remember most people agreeing he was part of the problem but just stopping short of keyboard hating on him like you did.
Wasn't hating on him compared to Stubby. I just wanted him to realise that he was incompetent and had no experience of running a successful club and resign. Nothing personal against the guy, just didn't think he was the right guy to be running our club.
Muppet on the other hand, that was personal as soon as he sacked Griffo.
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
Why is Murphy not in the same boat?
He presided over Stubbins retention, he did nothing (as middleby allegedly did) while the club was run into the ground and payments not made, he came out publicly and kept giving the equivalent of "the cheques in the mail".
You could argue that Murphy did exactly the same thing Middleby did (or didn't do).
The common denominator is the real issue, and he is now gone. It would not have mattered who the CEO was at any point of tinkers reign. He was always the one pulling the strings and once the money ran out, it was just one giant PR machine of smokes and mirrors.
Tinkler was the biggest **** of all. Where are his bum boys now????
A decent owner would have steered a tight ship.
La Bazzle has been calling out the #str8shoota since day dot.
He got rid of Galloway, Murphy better not think he's safe either.
