Ante Milicic, the former Socceroos assistant coach, has been named as the man to guide the Matildas out of the ongoing political fallout from the sacking of Alen Stajcic and into the World Cup in France later this year.
Football Federation Australia on Monday confirmed Milicic, who has no previous experience in women’s football but a wealth in the men’s game, as the team’s new head coach after Stajcic left the post last month in controversial circumstances.

No disrespect to Milicic but has the FFA got any bloody idea what they are doing?
Considering it's WC year and all that.
Splash the cash and get someone who has been there and done that in the woman's game.
A real chance goes begging again with arguably our most talented and experienced woman's national squad.
For example, lure Silvia Neid out of retirement, she is only 54.
Throw some money at her, promise her a big Aussie adventure.
Neid has won every damn thing at club and national level as player and as manager.
A six month / one year contract would do it.
( FFS, we all remember what happened when the men got Guus Hiddink for a WC.)
This shows to me how chicken shit the FFA really is.
New heads, same crap.
