A-League club Macarthur FC hope to finalise the appointment of a new head coach in the next week after agreeing to part ways with Mile Sterjovski.
The Bulls announced on Tuesday that the former Socceroo, who won the 2024 Australia Cup, had agreed to a mutual termination of his contract two months out from the start of the season.
Sterjovski was the longest-serving coach in the competition after being thrust into the role following Dwight Yorke's dramatic exit midway through the 2022/23 A-League Men (ALM) campaign.
During Sterjovski's time at the helm, the Bulls made deep runs in Asia, but the lengthy travel took its toll on the domestic front with the club missing the last two finals series.
The 47-year-old's last game in charge was a penalty shootout defeat in the last 16 of the Australia Cup to New South Wales part-timers SD Raiders.
Macarthur open their seventh ALM campaign at home to Perth Glory on October 17.
Thank You, Mile.
