Football Australia has announced the appointment of Football NSW’s Club Technical Development Coordinator Alex Epakis as the new Young Matildas Head Coach.https://t.co/EpNnLJB2x5

I think Epakis will do a good job, Perth’s younger players improved under his tenure, and his style of play suits the way the Young Tillies work
However, I also thought it was great to have all women in charge of the youth teams in the last few cycles.

Feels like we’ve returned right back to ‘it’s all the players’ fault and they run the whole show’ in regards to the Matildas ranking going down. 🫠
Very little on how much we’ve held back the game domestically and let other leagues and countries stream ahead.— Nathalie Brough (@nbrough.bsky.social) March 7, 2025 at 10:13 AM
