Sydney FC strengthened its football department ahead of the Sky Blues double Hyundai A-League title defence with the appointment of Phil Moss as an Assistant Coach in June 2017.

With A-League coaching requirements increasing in size every season, Moss will work alongside Steve Corica as an additional coaching resource, as the club looks to go back to back in the Hyundai A-League and seeks success in the AFC Champions League and FFA Cup competitions.

“Being a Sydney boy it is an honour to be working for a club as big as Sydney FC,” said Moss.

“I’m very confident I can add more passion, experience and help improve on the remarkable job which was done last season.

“After winning the double and with the challenge of the AFC Champions League ahead, I look to contribute to the club’s success.

“It’s fantastic to be joining the club at such an exciting time and it’s a big challenge.”

Moss will have responsibility for assisting staff on a day to day basis on the training field with a busy campaign of A-League and AFC Champions League ahead.
