Sporting Director Matt Simon thanks all departing staff members and is excited with the new additions to the First Team staff.
“Change always happens also with staff and we have had some big changes this year. Those staff members that have moved on are going to go down in history as being part of one of the greatest A-League teams of all time and we thank them for everything they gave us, they’ll be welcome at the club forever.” Simmo said.
“With that, it’s exciting to announce the promotions of Cade Mapu to Lead Strength and Conditioning Coach, Nick Van Reede to Head of Physiotherapy, we’re really excited for those two boys and what they can bring to the table.”
“Josh Rose has been promoted from U20s Coach to First Team Assistant Coach, that’s huge. Rosey won the Championship back in 2013 so we’re excited for what he can bring to Jacko’s staff.”
“Finally we have Dean Benton, our new Head of Performance who comes with huge pedigree having worked with some of the best managers in the world across different sports.”
