His contract expires after the Olympics so simply don’t renew it.

He may well be under some level of instruction not to rock the boat. The home world cup was a big moment and I can understand why there was reluctance to push major change, then the tillies have had a lot of public support so again play it safe leading towards the olympics. Some changes will be needed for the next WC cycle - just in time for a new coach to inherit all that mess.

Because that's not ever happened before in relation to the Matildas. 🤷🏻♂️

It's not been a complete mess under Tony. Bronze medal matches at the Olympics and world cup aren't terrible results (and to be fair if Kerr doesn't bottle the 2022 Asian cup qf against Korea we probably win that tournament).
He is ultra conservative and his insistence on playing the familiar even though past their best is concerning.
He was probably an inoffensive option after the staj mutiny and milicic caretaker era.
Under him we have seen the advancement of players like fowler, Cooney-cross, Torpey. Hunt has developed. The 2 GKs, while solid rather than outstanding, are upgrades on Williams and whyman.
Heyman has done well but at late 30's is just a band aid following Kerr being injured and not a long term solution. Kerr herself is getting on and starting to get injury prone.
Slightly unlucky that some of the good young players picked up injuries - holly McNamara is a definite replacement for Kerr but is another one getting big injuries early in her career.
2 years until the Asian cup gives the new coach a chance to clear out some of the dead wood (Polkinghorne, eve, yallop) bring some of the young players coming through eg Daniela galic.

They need to clear out the mean girl culture and bring in someone who will take no shit from these entitled brats.

They are dead. They conceeded 5 goals to the worst ranked side. The Coach is terrible. The USA reserves will rip them apart. Defensively appalling.

Can't believe the coach trotted out Van Egmond in the first half. Very lazy. Won't run to support. Tall, but can't head. So negative - if on the ball nearly always passes backwards. Has talent, but rarely uses it to effect. One of the most frustrating players to watch. Such a relief she was dropped for the second half and replaced by a player willing to have a go.

Probably demanded to go on.
Sooner she is out of the national side the better they will be.
Yep other than the media bandwagons it has been obvious it was heading this way for quite a while.

Keeper hasn't covered herself in glory either. Big clear out needed
It depends how willing the squad is to accept change. Are they operating as a modern high performance squad or are players still trying to have things on their terms? From memory some of the changes Staj wanted to bring in were at the core of how things blew up.
Women's sports have skyrocketed in visibility and presumably professionalism should follow. Do we hold the matildas to the same standards as the boys?
