“We are confident that we will appoint the right person to lead our Hyundai A-League team into the future.”

Brisbane Roar will make a final decision on the appointment of the new Hyundai A-League Head Coach soon after the interview process has concluded which will give the successful candidate time to prepare for the Hyundai A-League 2019/20 campaign.

The Club remain positive and firmly focused on the remainder of the Hyundai A-League 2018/19 Season.
