Milicic to depart Macarthur FC at end of A-League season

MELBOURNE: 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.
