Football Australia has turned back the clock, appointing the 70-year-old as interim coach while the search continues for Tony Gustavsson’s full-time replacement.
Tom Sermanni is set to take charge of the Matildas for a third time, with the veteran coach announced on Tuesday as the team’s interim coach to enable the search to continue for Tony Gutavsson’s full-time replacement.
Sermanni, 70, would be unfamiliar to many of the team’s newer fans but is one of the most influential figures in the history of Australian women’s football, having originally moved here in the 1980s to play for Marconi in the old National Soccer League. He was also coach of the United States in 2013-14, who were undefeated during his tenure, and last worked in the dugout for New Zealand between 2018-2021. Sermanni“It’s an honour to return to the Matildas, even in this interim capacity,” Sermanni said in a statement.
