Another big loss has forced a coaching change at Werribee City.
The Victorian Premier League 1 club has had a tough season with just one win from the first 11 rounds and sit second bottom, just two points clear of the North Geelong Warriors.
Having not won since round one, the Bees faced the Preston Lions on Friday night.
The Bees lost 5-0, conceding five goals for the third time this season.
On Saturday, the club announced that there would be changes off field.
“Werribee City FC announces today that it has mutually agreed to part ways with head coach Dominic Barba and assistant coach Jeff Olver,” the club said on social media.
“The club extends its gratitude to Dom and Jeff for their dedication and support during their tenure with the club.
“Additionally, the club acknowledges the service of Sam Defina and wishes him the best in his future endeavours.
“The club will soon announce the appointment of a new head coach as we shift our focus to the upcoming match against Bentleigh Greens this week.”
Barba was appointed coach of the Bees in September 2022. He had played at the club 30 years ago and said at the time the Bees were a club close to his heart.
The club didn’t waste long to appoint Craig Moore as coach. Moore had been at the Bees previously and was with Melbourne Knights as an assistant coach until Saturday when the club parted ways with its coaches.
