Coach Stajcic departs Philippines post-World Cup campaign to ‘pursue alternative opportunities’

Coach Alen Stajcic has left his role as coach of the Philippine women’s football team. His tenure will be remembered for their impressive debut in the Fifa Women’s World Cup, which set a standard for future national coaches. Stajcic expressed pride in the team’s performance, particularly in their last match against Norway, which drew a crowd of 34,000 spectators, with 30,000 of them supporting the Filipinas. Stajcic and his assistant Nahuel Arrarte’s contracts expired after the team’s final World Cup game, a 6-0 loss to Norway. Both coaches have decided to explore other options. Stajcic’s potential coaching position with A-League side Perth Glory in Australia has been rumored. The departure of Stajcic leaves the Philippine Football Federation and team management in search of a coach of similar caliber for future tournaments such as the Hangzhou Asian Games and the Olympic Qualifying Tournament. Stajcic’s appointment as head coach elevated women’s football in the Philippines and brought hope for the team’s future success. Under Stajcic’s guidance, the Filipinas secured a World Cup berth, won the bronze medal in the Vietnam Southeast Asian Games, and dominated the AFF Women’s Championship. The team’s impressive performances have also led to a continuous climb in the Fifa women’s football rankings. Stajcic considers the team’s victory over the co-hosts in New Zealand as one of the highlights of his coaching career. He expressed his gratitude to the players and praised their dedication, sacrifice, and loyalty. Stajcic wished the team a great future and expressed excitement to follow their progress.
