Tom Sermanni Appointed Interim Coach of Australian Women's Soccer Team

The experienced coach returns to lead the Matildas after Tony Gustavsson's contract was not renewed following a disappointing Olympic performance.

Sermanni, 70, will guide the team through the upcoming international window, including a match against Germany.
This marks Sermanni's third tenure as head coach of the Matildas, having previously served from 1994-1997 and 2005-2012.
Sermanni succeeds Tony Gustavsson, whose contract was not renewed after Australia failed to advance past the group stage at the Paris Olympics.
Football Australia is conducting a thorough search for a permanent head coach, with Sermanni providing stability during the transition.
Sermanni's extensive coaching career includes stints with the U.S., Canada, and New Zealand women's teams, as well as various club roles.
