Sydney FC Sacks Coach Steve Corica Following Poor Season Start

Long-serving Corica, who brought Sydney FC to two Australian titles and won 13 trophies during his almost two-decade tenure, dismissed amid disappointing start to new season.

• Sydney FC has ended their association with long-serving manager Steve Corica after losing the first three games of the new season without scoring any goals.
• Corica, a former midfielder who played for Wolverhampton Wanderers before joining Sydney FC, began his tenure in 2005 and led the team to their last two Australian titles in 2018-19 and 2019-2020.
• Under Corica's leadership, Sydney FC also reached the championship final in 2020-2021, but missed the post-season playoffs in 2021-2022 and finished fifth in the last campaign.
• The club's Board has decided to move in a new direction, signifying a significant change as Corica was renowned for his contributions as both a player and coach in the club's 19-year history.
• While it's a tough goodbye for Corica, he leaves the club with 'unbelievable memories' and gratitude towards the staff, players, and fans, having won 13 trophies during his nearly two decades with Sydney FC.
