Sydney FC has announced its new manager, and it is a familiar face for the club.
The Sky Blues have announced Ufuk Talay as coach, who was most recently in charge of the Wellington Phoenix in the A-League Men competition as a head coach.
Talay’s appointment follows the departure of former coach Steve Corica on Monday.
“This is Australia’s most successful club, and it matches my own expectations of challenging for league titles every season,” Talay said.
“I have won a Championship as a player and as an assistant coach here, and now I want to do it as head coach.”
