Western United coach John Aloisi has signed a new two-year contract to remain in the job.
The former Socceroo is Western United’s longest serving coach surpassing 100 matches in charge during the A-League men’s 2024-25 season.
It was a record-breaking season for Western United which enjoyed its best-ever season in terms of wins, points and goals scored.
The 2022 finals series and grand final victory remain at the very top of Aloisi’s achievements.
Aloisi brings a renewed motivation for success with his reappointment.
“The reason I re-signed is I still see so much growth left on and off the pitch and I can’t wait to continue this journey together as a club, with the support of our fans who have stuck by us through the highs and the lows,” he said.
“First season at Ironbark last season, and we already started to make it our fortress. It was so special to play there in front of our home fans and I’m eager to see them all there again cheering our boys on.
“I am super excited to continue working with this group of players, we played some great attacking football last season and I know this group is still hungry to keep learning and improving.”
Western United football general manager Mal Impiombato labelled Aloisi a difference maker for the club.
“Since he joined the club, John has revolutionised the culture from our football department through to the admin office and left an indelible impression everyone at the club.”
“We firmly believe we have one of the brightest Australian coaches and leaders at our club and we are delighted to have John guiding our group into an increasingly exciting future.”
Aloisi is straight back on the training track, as the team prepares for their Australia Cup round of 32 clash against Sydney FC later this month.
