South Melbourne FC confirms that Sinisa Cohadzic has been reinstated as Senior Men’s 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 Club’s 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.”
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."

Seriously @footballvic you represent member clubs, not private clubs, that have to be dragged kicking and screaming into line. Absolutely disrespectful to those clubs that have built the game. Where was your support for @smfc@AustraliaCup tie. #losttouch
And just on Macarthur's thug antics - I don't watch the A-League, so I don't know if that kind of thing is normal for them or the league, but I'd hate to think they just saw an opportunity to hack away at semi-pros because there's no VAR. #AustraliaCup#magicofthecup
