National Premier Leagues Men’s NSW outfit St George FC have announced the departure of Head Coach Jane Talcevski and have appointed Steve Karavatakis as the new manager in charge.
Karavatakis joins the club with the support of its Head of Football, John Klappas, effective immediately.
Karavatakis brings a rich experience to the club. He has played for numerous NSW clubs through various coaching roles including the Western Sydney Wanderers and Sutherland Sharks youth teams, as well as first grade coach at Canterbury Marrickville and Bonnyrigg White Eagles.
Karavatakis will be working with the St George FC senior squad and will soon be announcing his coaching staff.
“We take this opportunity to acknowledge the departure of Jane Talcevski, Jose Bello, and Daniel Zeleney and their contributions to the club will be greatly missed,” St George FC said in a statement.
“The Club has nurtured an exceptional group of talent across all levels, from Women’s and Men’s teams to SAP and Senior squads.
“St George FC will always support those who demonstrate the physical and human qualities needed to achieve their goals. However, recent weeks and challenges on the park have highlighted that the team, which has worked tirelessly to establish a new identity both on the field, in the training environment, and amongst the broader football community, has struggled to perform at its best.
“As we bid them farewell and acknowledge their achievements as a coaching team underpinned by the support of the club, we are confident that Steve and John will bring fresh perspectives and continue to uphold the values and traditions of St George FC.”
