Season summary

From the 2009–10 season, Greek gambling giant Intralot became the Melbourne Victory's new major sponsor to replace Samsung in a two-year deal valued at $2 million.[1] Their logo subsequently featured on the front of Melbourne Victory's strip.[1]

The Victory made some off-season changes by releasing Steve Pantelidis and Michael Thwaite to Gold Coast United,[2][3] Sebastian Ryall was transferred to Sydney FC,[4] and veteran goalkeeper Michael Theoklitos ended his contract and later joined Norwich City F.C.[5] Moreover, José Luis López Ramírez's loan spell was terminated from Deportivo Saprissa[6] and Daniel Allsopp moved to Al Rayyan.[7]

Several new signings were made, bringing New Zealand international goalkeeper Glen Moss from Wellington Phoenix,[8] Thai midfielder Surat Sukha from Chonburi FC,[9] the promotion of Mathew Theodore and Matthew Foschini from the youth squad[10][11] and the permanent signing of veteran Carlos Hernández from L.D. Alajuelense for three years (after his two-year loan).[12]

Meanwhile, Mate Dugandžić was signed from Melbourne Knights,[13] Robbie Kruse from Brisbane Roar,[13] Marvin Angulo from Club Sport Herediano[14] and Sutee Suksomkit was signed as a nine match guest player.[15]

On 1 December 2009, it was announced that Ney Fabiano was leaving Melbourne and had signed a contract with Thai Premier League team Bangkok Glass FC for the 2010 season.[16]

The Victory finished second to Sydney FC on the ladder and lost the 2010 A-League Grand Final to Sydney 4–2 on penalties.[17]

Melbourne Victory were drawn into Group E in the 2010 AFC Champions League along with Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma, Beijing Guoan and Kawasaki Frontale.[18] With key players Archie Thompson, Matthew Kemp and Billy Celeski sidelined for long term injuries,[19][20][21] Victory finished bottom of Group E.
