Steve Rosich Appointed A-Leagues Chief Executive

The hire follows a turbulent year of executive exits after deep cuts that the league says returned it to profit in FY25.

Overview

  • The Australian Professional Leagues named former Fremantle and Victoria Racing Club chief Steve Rosich as its new chief executive.
  • AAP reports he is due to start on January 5, with staff notified of the appointment on Wednesday.
  • Stephen Conroy will revert to his independent non-executive chairman role after serving as executive leader during the transition.
  • The APL says restructuring over the past year, including heavy cuts, moved it from a significant loss to a profit in FY25.
  • Major challenges persist, notably Western United’s collapse, with the club wound up by the ATO and its owners facing a $15.5 million tax bill now before the Federal Court.
