Gotta thank him for winning the Asian cup and getting us to the world cup. Fact is, with the players at his disposal he should have a far better record than what he does.
I won't say anything against him, just agree that it was time to change. Thanks Ange.

There isn't that many goalscorers in the team though That's true, but it's a little difficult to find out who will score for the national team when players who can't even get off the bench for their clubs were continually selected.

Look there isnt any excuse for not Auto-qualifying for the world cup but he did get us there in the end. Credit to him won the Asian cup no one can take that away from him Though we played competitively in the Confederation cup 2017 and WC 2014 we still failed to win a game which in reality is the true test on a big stage and he failed there regardless of opponents. - Might be a bit harsh but it is a results game I'd say we need a change but after the WC because a new manager new philosophy and new ideas etc is not ideal 10 months before the world cup. Wish him the best Wont lie im a little shocked

So does that mean Arnie is looking like the number 1 contender to replace him?

Selfish bastard, thanks for the memories but abandoning the country in the way he has done is unforgivable IMO.

Some of the reaction to this is pretty sad. The same people who wanted him sacked are now saying him leaving is unforgivable and unaustralian. The lives of his family and himself are far more important than kicking a ball around for entertainment.

I honestly think we need to appoint someone who can motivate the players quickly and get the best out of them tactically like hiddink did. Give them a short term contract for the cup and begin identifying candidates to take us into the next 4 year cycle

Be scary to think it was Gallop or Lowy.. Surely some sort of football experts advise them ? (you would hope)

+xSo does that mean Arnie is looking like the number 1 contender to replace him? If you have a look at any league in the world from the u5s to the over 50s, somebody is always the best team, best payer or best coach What puts meaning behind the stats is context and quality The A League is an easy league. Particularly as it effectively has relegation from the top. What Arnie achieved last year has been done by Brisbane and arguably Melbourne. It doesn't make them worthwhile contenders for the top spot, particularly as both coaches already had a stint with a national team and both coaches were slammed for it If it were me I'd overlook the A League when picking the next coach.

+xSome of the reaction to this is pretty sad. The same people who wanted him sacked are now saying him leaving is unforgivable and unaustralian. The lives of his family and himself are far more important than kicking a ball around for entertainment. But he signed a 4 year term and had his own targets when taking on the head coach role. When you're in a leadership position (and getting paid quite well for it), its not just about you anymore, its the team, all the staff involved, the effort everyone has put in so far, the hopes and dreams of a nation. Football is much more than just entertainment. He knew this before taking on the role at Brisbane, Melbourne, and Australia. You think Trump and Turnball will quit because of public pressure, because their leadership role is damaging their family? How would he cope with club football when he has to be away from his family every 2nd week? Bailing out and leaving the national team in limbo because of any personal vendetta against your employers.... not good. To look on the bright side of all this.... at least we'll get a new coach in who will have ample time to prep the boys and take us to defend the Asian Cup in 2019.

bizarre decision
can't be called selfish really since the most selfish thing would be to coach at the world cup
can't be called selfless either since the most selfless thing to do would be to coach at the world cup
insane is probably the word
in any case if we have a decent coach there is usually a short term boost in performance
It would be hard to teach finishing at this age. But if you had a coach that improved defensive structure but had them do the same possession based style in attack that would be optimal. You shouldn't lose much cohesian in 6 months focusing on defensive structure but could make a massive difference in defence

After all he has done and achieved for Australian football he doesn’t owe you anything.

With all the crap he's had to put up with I'm not surprised. Sad news, he's basically done a Gombau. I'd be installing Milicic but is it true he's gone too??

I thought milicic got the olyroos gig? Ante would be the closest continuation to Ange but they won't go for that, it's pretty much Arnies if they go local, Ante and Ange appeared to be very close.
Just caught the full press conference, Ange looks like he has aged 5 years in the past 12 months, almost looks a bit unwell.

A sad day for the Socceroos and Oz football in general.
What was his motive for leaving prior to a world cup next year? Who knows there is something not up to leave a post before completing his job.
Thanks for the great work Ange, he's laid a great platform for the next coach to work with.

Be scary to think it was Gallop or Lowy.. Surely some sort of football experts advise them ? (you would hope) It used to be the senior FFA TD. Han Berger was the last senior FFA TD. Now Erik Abrams is FFA TD for up to 16 year olds. Luke Casserley has an overview. Neither are senior FFA TDs. It is important that the new coach is appointed by people who are familiar and experienced with professional football methodology. Gallop and Lowy know nothing about it.

This is astonishing. I'm not sure if this has ever happened in world football before. I've never heard of a coach who has qualified for the World Cup walking away from the big job.
