Sydney FC head coach Ante Juric has signed a fresh two-year deal with the reigning Liberty A-League Premiers, vowing to pursue more silverware with the club he’s already guided to five trophies on a deal set to run until 2026.
Should he fulfil the entirety of his new Sydney contract, Juric will become the club’s longest-serving A-League Women head coach with eight seasons under his belt, surpassing Alen Stajcic.

The contract re-signing comes in the lead-in to the 2022-23 A-League Women Finals Series, in which Juric’s Sky Blues enter as Premiers for the third season in a row – a league record.
Sydney host Western United in a Semi Final at Allianz Stadium on Sunday, April 16, with the winner booking a spot in the 2022-23 Grand Final.
Juric has taken the Sky Blues to the title decider in each of his first five seasons at Sydney.
The club revealed Juric had knocked back offers from overseas before signing his new two-year contract.
“I am proud to be part of Sydney FC and the success we have achieved,” Juric said.
“We have a great group and I am as committed as the girls to winning trophies and achieving more with this club.
“We want to go onto bigger and better things and I’m excited to take these girls into the AFC Champions League, which is hopefully starting later this year.”
Juric has won 60 of 90 games in charge of Sydney FC, drawing seven and losing 23 times.
