PERTH, Australia (AP) — Former Philippines and Australia women’s coach Alen Stajcic has been named as head coach of the A League men’s Perth Glory on a three-year deal. Stajcic led the Philippines at the ongoing Women’s World Cup. Although the 46th-ranked Philippines didn’t make it through to the round of 16, the team beat New Zealand 1-0 and were competitive in a 2-0 loss to world No.20 Switzerland. Stajcic guided Australia to two women’s Asian Cup finals, the quarterfinals of the 2015 World Cup, the quarterfinals of the 2016 Rio Olympics and a highest-ever position of fourth in the FIFA world rankings. He was fired as Matildas coach in 2019 just five months away from the World Cup in France. The Football Australia-led decision was made following an internal review into the women’s national team.
