Melbourne City Manager Rado Vidosic Sacked, Replaced by Aurelio Vidmar after Early Season Losses
Aurelio Vidmar takes over amid Melbourne City's worst start to the A-League season, despite Vidosic's success in leading the club to both women's and men's championships.
- Rado Vidosic, Melbourne City manager, has been sacked just two games into the A-League season and replaced by former Australia captain Aurelio Vidmar
- Vidosic presided over a 6-1 loss to Central Coast Mariners and a 6-0 defeat by Adelaide United in the league's opening games
- Despite these losses, Vidosic played a pivotal role in winning titles with the Youth, Women’s and Men’s teams during his five-year tenure
- Aurelio Vidmar, who returns to a domestic head coaching position for the first time since a controversial stint with Adelaide United (2007-2010), will guide the team for the rest of the season
- Vidmar, having an extensive coaching background, including leading Australia's Socceroos team and Adelaide United, is heralded for his attacking, possession-based football philosophy
