Overview

- Gary van Egmond was appointed head coach until the end of the campaign, with reports of a technical director move next season that he says is not confirmed.
- The men’s side sits bottom of the A-League table with three wins and a league-low 10 goals from 13 matches.
- Stajcic said he was blindsided by the decision and described the exit as a mutual termination with no prior warning.
