Graham Arnold Resigns as Socceroos Coach After Six-Year Tenure

Arnold's legacy includes historic World Cup run but struggles in Asian competitions and recent poor results led to his departure.

Graham Arnold has ended his six-year stint as the head coach of the Australian national football team, the Socceroos, citing exhaustion.
Arnold's tenure is highlighted by the Socceroos' remarkable run to the Round of 16 at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Despite his World Cup success, Arnold faced criticism for the team's underperformance in Asian competitions and recent World Cup qualifiers.
Football Australia CEO James Johnson acknowledged Arnold's significant contributions but agreed that it was time for a fresh approach.
Arnold's departure marks the end of a nearly four-decade-long association with Australian football, both as a player and a coach.
