'''Jacob Timpano''' (born 3 January 1986) is a former Australian [footballer](/source/Association_football) and current head coach of [Wollongong Wolves](/source/Wollongong_Wolves_FC) in the [National Premier Leagues NSW](/source/National_Premier_Leagues_NSW).

==Club career==
Timpano previously played for the [Wollongong Wolves](/source/Wollongong_Wolves) in the [National Soccer League](/source/National_Soccer_League). He is a [central defender](/source/Defender_(association_football)), and has represented Australia at the [2005 FIFA World Youth Championship](/source/2005_FIFA_World_Youth_Championship) and captained Australia in the [2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship](/source/2003_FIFA_U-17_World_Championship) as an Under-20 and Under-17 respectively.

In the 2005-06 A-League season, Timpano was an essential part of Sydney FC championship-winning side - playing in 19 of the club's 24 games.
However, in the 2006-07 A-League season, Timpano made only 2 appearances (1 start) due to persistent leg injuries which continued into the start of season 2007/08.  By the time Timpano recovered full fitness he found himself out of favour with the new coach only playing another 3 games for Sydney before he left the club.

In 2009, Timpano signed a two-year deal to be part of the new [North Queensland Fury](/source/North_Queensland_Fury_FC)'s inaugural A-League squad alongside current [Sydney FC](/source/Sydney_FC) teammates, [Robbie Middleby](/source/Robbie_Middleby), [Brendon Šantalab](/source/Brendon_%C5%A0antalab) and [Beau Busch](/source/Beau_Busch).  However, he once again found himself the 4th choice defensive option and remained unused throughout the season, much of which he spent on loan at Queensland League club [North Queensland Razorbacks](/source/North_Queensland_Razorbacks_FC).

At the end of the season, Jacob was one of the players controversially released by the club despite being under contract.  After being released, Jacob went back to [New South Wales](/source/New_South_Wales) to play for [Sydney United](/source/Sydney_United_58_FC) in the [NSW Premier League](/source/National_Premier_Leagues_NSW).

He signed for [South Coast Wolves](/source/South_Coast_Wolves_FC) after transferring from Sydney United ahead of the [2011 NSW Premier League season](/source/2011_NSW_Premier_League_season).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.therealgame.com.au/news/state-league/166/jacob-timpano-signs-for-wollongong-wolves|title=Jacob Timpano signs for Wollongong Wolves|date=24 January 2011|publisher=The Real Game|accessdate=17 March 2011|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706112550/http://www.therealgame.com.au/news/state-league/166/jacob-timpano-signs-for-wollongong-wolves|archivedate=6 July 2011|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Timpano left South Coast Wolves, signing for [Dapto Dandaloo Fury](/source/Dapto_Dandaloo_Fury_FC) ahead of their 2015 Illawarra Premier League campaign. He was announced as one of six new signings for the club. He will play with several former [A-League](/source/A-League) players, including [Noel Spencer](/source/Noel_Spencer), [Alvin Ceccoli](/source/Alvin_Ceccoli), [Shane Lyons](/source/Shane_Lyons), and [Wade Oostendorp](/source/Wade_Oostendorp).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/2689093/fury-sign-six-players-for-title-defence/?cs=302|title=Dapto Dandaloo has announced six key signings as it chases consecutive titles|last=Cohen|first=Mitch|date=November 11, 2014|publisher=Illawarra Mercury|accessdate=3 December 2014}}</ref>

==International career==
During 2006, Timpano was selected and captained the Australian Under 23's national football team in their campaign for the [2008 Summer Olympics](/source/Football_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men's_tournament), and played in all three international matches that year against [Iran](/source/Iran_national_football_team), [Vietnam](/source/Vietnam_national_football_team) and [Uzbekistan](/source/Uzbekistan_national_football_team).

==Managerial career==
Timpano was appointed manager of his former [New South Wales NPL](/source/National_Premier_Leagues_NSW) club [Wollongong Wolves](/source/Wollongong_Wolves_FC) following the resignation of [Nahuel Arrarte](/source/Nahuel_Arrarte), midway through the [2015 NSW NPL](/source/2015_Football_NSW_season) season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/3127691/timpano-to-take-over-at-wolves/?cs=12|title=Timpano to take over at Wolves|last=Cohen|first=Mitch|date=5 June 2015|publisher=Illawarra Mercury|accessdate=5 June 2015}}</ref>
