Alen Stajcic, former head coach of the Filipinas, and Sofia Harrison celebrated their successful stint at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in New Zealand. After leading the team to their first-ever World Cup appearance, Stajcic has now been appointed as the new head coach of Australian men’s club Perth Glory.
The announcement was made by the A-League club, confirming earlier rumors that Stajcic would take over Perth Glory once he completed his duties with the Filipinas. The decision comes at a crucial time for the club, as they have been facing financial and on-pitch struggles.
Stajcic expressed his excitement about the opportunity to help re-establish Glory as one of the prominent clubs in Australian football. He acknowledged the groundwork that has been laid in the past year to set the club on the path to success and is eager to contribute to that process.
Stajcic’s tenure with the Philippines women’s team was marked by exceptional achievements. Under his guidance, the team reached the semifinals of the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup, which secured their spot in the Women’s World Cup. They also emerged victorious in the 2022 AFF Women’s Championship and claimed a bronze medal at the Vietnam Southeast Asian Games. Additionally, the team climbed to 46th in the world rankings.
The Philippines’ journey at the Women’s World Cup ended with a 6-0 loss to Norway in the final group stage match. However, they had a remarkable victory over New Zealand, winning 1-0 with Sarina Bolden scoring the lone goal in the first half.
With Stajcic’s new appointment, a new chapter begins for Perth Glory, and they hope to achieve great success under his leadership.
