Ante Juric

It was a really poor run of form.

Ante Juric, the former head coach, stepped aside halfway through last season and his assistant, James Slaveski, stepped in.

So James has now been given his first full pre-season in charge.

He was signed on and given an extension to that interim role.

So, listeners, if you have any examples of that that are happening in the contemporary moment, please do call in and let us know.

But for the most part, it is a bit of an anomaly.

And with Ante Juric at Sydney, it felt like he got a bit of time to, like... you know, figure it out.

He didn't figure it out.

She's still really young so there's a lot to learn obviously but I'm really excited to see how she can kind of take that next step in her career now because she's definitely got the attributes to have a really long and successful career.

In terms of you getting the job, you come in midway through last season for Ante Juric, club legend, you know, trophies galore.

How did you find that process coming in, you know, trying to put your own spin on things in the middle of a table spin for the club, replacing a club legend? You know, I can imagine it's not an easy situation to walk in.

Yeah, look, it wasn't.
