, instead calling on governments to help fund the permanent home the game has never had during his long involvement.
“I worked extremely hard in this campaign to get to where we got to. I [coached] the Olympic team for nothing to help the players come through. I haven’t even thought about it. I’ll have a break, and then no doubt I’ll have a discussion with the federation.”“I think ‘Arnie’ is an amazing coach. He creates a great atmosphere, great culture, and I think that’s why we’ve got such an amazing group,” Leckie said.
“It’s me. It’s the way I am,” he said. “Even though we’ve been successful, I feel like we failed. I just wanted it so badly for the nation and the fans and for football in Australia.“Making the last 16 for me wasn’t enough. I wanted more. I know a lot of other people might be happy with it, but it’s just the way I am.”
“And you can feel they love their game. It’s the No.1 sport in their country. We want to get to those levels. There’s a long way to go, but doing stuff like this can be a fork in the road type moment and you just hope that there’s kids out there that want to be the next players that play for our country.
