Miron Bleiberg (Hebrew: מירון בלייברג) is an Israeli-Australian football (soccer) manager.
Bleiberg was educated at the Hebrew Reali School in Haifa, Israel. A former captain in the Israeli Navy, Bleiberg commanded patrol boats and missile boats, covering the coastline from Haifa to Sinai and the Red Sea. In Israel, he coached Hapoel HaTzair Kiryat Haim, which at the time played in Liga Bet, the fourth tier of Israeli football league system. After moving to Australia, he coached Melbourne Croatia for the 1985 and 1986 NSL seasons. The following year he coached Maribyrnong Polonia for the initial 12 rounds, until the club fell into financial difficulties.
The team eventually went on to win the 1987 Victorian State League title. This was followed by stints at Croydon City, Heidelberg United and the Brisbane Strikers, before going on to secure a string of successes in the Queensland Premier League with NorthStar and Queensland Lions.
Appointed the coach of the Queensland Roar for the inaugural season of the A-League, the Roar missed the finals, although the side’s entertaining style of football won plaudits from the media and supporters. Bleiberg's outspoken views and colourful quotes in the style of Jose Mourinho has made many headlines. After the Roar slipped from an auspicious start to the 2006/7 season to fourth position following Round 15, Bleiberg resigned as coach and was replaced by former Socceroos coach Frank Farina.
