Western United assistant coach Hayden Foxe is on the move after joining the new Socceroos coaching panel.
Foxe has accepted a landmark position as Socceroos assistant coach, bringing an end to a memorable three-season stint at Western United.
Foxe joined John Aloisi at United in 2021 and helped mastermind the greatest season in the club’s history, ending in an A-League men’s championship.
A former Socceroo as a player, Foxe will now return to the national team in the next major step of an already decorated coaching career.
Foxe said he will remain green and black forever and will cherish the memories he made in the west.
“Western will be part of my life forever and I am very thankful for the opportunity the club gave me,” he said.
“When you create something special like winning a championship, that lives with you for the rest of your life. We had the pleasure to experience such a feeling with everyone at the club.
“The future is so exciting for Western United on and off the football field. With the fans along with the staff and volunteers that make up this wonderful club, it’s great to remember the good times but ever so important to work together through adversity. Go Western.”
United football general manager Mal Impiombato thanked Foxe for his impact on United’s success and development over the past three years.
“Hayden has been instrumental in driving our standards as a football club and we will long be indebted to him for his work in helping set the foundations for success,” he said.
“His commitment to excellence, passion and love for the job have been exemplary and we are immensely proud of his achievements.
“We are equally delighted with the role that our club has played in preparing Hayden for this moment. We remain steadfast in our ambition to provide a platform for individuals to thrive and contribute to the betterment of the game.
“We extend our highest congratulations and greatest well wishes to Hayden while watching on with great enthusiasm to see his continued progress.”
Impiombato said they would provide an update on their coaching structure in the near future.
