Socceroos coach Graham Arnold is set to quit and walk away from the last two years of his contract ahead of Australia’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers in October.Socceroos coach Graham Arnold is set to quit and walk away from the last two years of his contract ahead of Australia’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers 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 went precariously close to getting the sack in 2022 when Australia blew their hopes of direct World Cup qualification and had to rely on Andrew Redmayne’s penalty shootout heroics against Peru to get to Qatar. Once there, Australia knocked over Denmark and Tunisia before narrowly falling to eventual winners Argentina at the last 16 phase.
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.
