MELBOURNE (Reuters) – Macarthur FC are on the hunt for a new coach after Ante Milicic confirmed on Tuesday he would step down from the role at the end of the A-League season.
The first coach of the A-League expansion side, Milicic is heading to Croatia for family reasons, the southwest Sydney club said.
“It has been a great honour to be the first-ever head coach of Macarthur FC,” the former Australia women’s coach said in a statement.
“We are now determined to finish the season strongly.”
Milicic guided Macarthur into the 2020/21 playoffs in the team’s first A-League season.
They are currently seventh in the 12-team league with two regular season matches to play. The top six qualify for the playoffs.
