About Richard Garcia

Richard Garcia is an Australian association football manager and former player. He is currently an assistant coach for Australia's U23 team, having previously managed A-League Men's side Perth Glory. After West Ham were relegated to the First Division in 2003, Garcia featured a few more times for the first-team, but made only 16 league appearances for the club before moving on to Colchester United in 2004. Garcia started Hull's first top flight game against Fulham on 16 August 2008, and performed well in his favoured right wing position. He was a key member of the team that won the FA Youth Cup and FA Premier Youth League double in 1998–99, scoring in every round of West Ham's run to the Youth Cup Final, eight in total. He made his first team debut for West Ham in a League Cup match away at Reading in September 2001, but failed to gain a regular place in the team.
