Following the departure of Esteban Quintas from the head coaching role at South Melbourne FC, interest in the position at the “Blue and Whites” has exceeded all expectations.

According to The Greek Herald’s sources, by the afternoon of Tuesday, April 15, more than 15 applications had been received at the club’s offices from coaches not only across Australia, but also from Europe.

As for the upcoming Australia Cup match this Saturday against Eastern Lions, our sources indicate that on the bench will be Esteban’s assistant, Leigh Minopoulos, alongside former club player Tyson Holmes.

In a phone interview with South Melbourne FC President Nick Maikousis, he told The Greek Herald: “We are actively seeking a capable coach who will lead our team back to success — not only for this season but also for our long-term future.”

“There is significant interest from highly qualified coaches, both from within Australia and overseas, and this reflects the immense stature of our club,” Maikousis added.

“We are not rushing the decision. The appointment will happen soon, but only after we have carefully reviewed all coaching applications.

“We ask for a little patience, and we look forward to seeing our supporters this Saturday at Gardiners Creek Reserve (3 p.m.) to cheer on the team.”
