Graham Arnold is set to step down as Socceroos manager before Australia’s next World Cup qualifier in October. Sources familiar with negotiations told AAP that Arnold has been in dialogue with Football Australia this week, ironing out an exit strategy from a role he has held since 2018. Arnold’s departure comes after the Socceroos picked up just one point from a possible six in their opening two games of third round World Cup qualifying.
Arnold said in June of this year that he believed he had a squad capable of reaching the semi-finals in North America in two years’ time. But the former Sydney FC and Central Coast Mariners boss has opted to walk away from the final two years of that deal after an underwhelming start to the third round of qualification. The Socceroos suffered a shock 1-0 loss to Bahrain on the Gold Coast before a frustrating stalemate against Indonesia.
