Valkanis says goodbye to Reds

Doesn't really say why he is leaving but Michael has been a long faithful servant of the club

“I’ve given my life for the Club and I’ve always put it first. I’ve always done my best, but now it’s my time to move on.

So long Micky & thanks for all the fish.

Great ambassador for the game & the club. Well done, hope he gets back into coaching somewhere!
All I need is some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

Very sad to see him go. I really viewed him as a long term coach of AU. We all knew this was going to happen but it's sad all the same.
Good luck for the future Micky V!

This.

I wonder if he has a position lined up in south east asia or the npl?

Best of luck to him.

I'm going to miss him, hopefully he is around the raps and get a chance to chat. The man is so passionate and eloquent about this state and its football.

Good luck to him. If I could, would definitely have money on him being Gombau's assistant this time next year.

Do not rate him. But good luck to him.

Also I would definitely get around that bet Jumbinho.

Not a shock considering Michael Petrillo is there.
Seeing how much he's grown into the coach he is over his time with AU has been wonderful to watch. Hopefully he'll be another one the club lets go only for them to return later on.
Time to Djbate!
