Perth plays in Australia and New Zealand’s top-flight men’s football tournament A-League.
In the 2022-23 season, Perth finished ninth among the 12 teams with a 7-8-11 win-draw-loss slate.
Stajcic heads over to the team right after helping the Filipinas to a historic stint in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Though exiting in the group stage, the Filipinas marked a historic first goal and first win as they beat co-hosts New Zealand, 1-0, in their Group A clash.
The Filipinas are currently in Manila for a short break before preparing for their next competitions — the Asian Games in September and the second round of the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in October.
