Matildas star Steph Catley expressed her hope for Football Australia to appoint a permanent coach soon, as the team has been in limbo since Tony Gustavsson's departure. Currently under caretaker Tom Sermanni, the team recently achieved back-to-back wins against South Korea, but Catley highlighted the challenges of rebuilding without clear direction. The pressure mounts on FA as the 2026 Asian Cup approaches, and while there is optimism for a new coach by mid-year, uncertainty remains regarding the interim period and team dynamics.
"We are at very early stages of a rebuild... it's hard as a playing group when you're in limbo a little bit."
"Tommy's done a great job... but it is difficult when you're trying to build towards something specific and it's been a while since we've sort of had that."
