The only reason this cocksucker has been to two NPL games in his life (APIA & Marconi in the last two years) is because heโd get fucking chinned. He knows it too. Your leading โfootball journalistโ in Australia.
The last couple of days has been one of the most difficult periods of my coaching career, but throughout it all, one thing never changed, my love for this club and, most importantly, my players and my coaching staff.
From day one, I have believed in this group.
The commitment, character, and unity they show every day are the reasons I am so passionate about coaching South Melbourne FC.
They have handled a challenging situation with professionalism and maturity, and I couldn't be prouder of them.
I also want to thank our supporters. The messages, encouragement, and loyalty shown over the past week have been overwhelming.
Your passion is what makes this club special, and it never goes unnoticed.
I would also like to acknowledge the Board for engaging in open and honest discussions. While there were matters that needed to be addressed, we were able to work through them respectfully and find a solution that allows us to move forward together with a shared vision for the future of this football club.
South Melbourne FC is bigger than any one person. It is built on its people, the players, supporters, members, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who contributes to this great club.
My focus now is exactly where it has always been, supporting my players, working hard every day, and doing everything possible to help this club achieve the success it deserves.
I'm proud to be back, proud to lead this group, and excited for what lies ahead.
Now let's move forward together as one club.

South Melbourne FC confirms that Sinisa Cohadzic has been reinstated as Senior Menโs Head Coach.
While the decision to part ways with Cohadzic last week came as a surprise to some, it created an opportunity for both parties to openly address and resolve a number of important matters.
Those discussions were conducted with honesty and professionalism, producing a renewed alignment on the direction of the club with a clear pathway forward for all.
South Melbourne FC and Cohadzic remain united in their shared ambition and commitment to the continued success of the club, the welfare of our players, the love of our fans and the support of our sponsors.
The Clubโs focus is now squarely on the season ahead and the standards we demand of ourselves on and off the pitch and that we move forward as one club, fully focused on the season ahead.
Bill Papastergiadis & Andrew Mesourouni, Club Co-Presidents, South Melbourne FC:
"The Board made a decision that resulted in both parties openly addressing and resolving a number of issues which have now led to a renewed alignment and a clear pathway forward for all.
"Now we ask our South Melbourne family to get behind the team, fill the stadium and show the world why this club is like no other.โ
Sinisa Cohadzic, Senior Head Coach:
"I love this club. I always have. These past few days have been difficult, but what matters is that we move forward together as one club. I'd like to thank the board for working through all the issues and now i'm ready to get back to work."
