FRANK Farina will be announced as Sydney FC's head coach until the end of the 2014-15 season at a press conference scheduled for 3pm at Allianz Stadium.

The 48-year old took over the job on an interim basis in November after Ian Crook stepped down after citing issues with the pressure of A-League coaching.

Since then, Farina has taken the team from the wooden spoon into the top six, where they currently reside heading into Saturday's home game against Adelaide United.

He's taken the team to five wins, three draws and four losses since taking over, making his records one of the better ones in the whole competition over that time.
