It’s well known by now: Sydney FC have gone separate ways with manager Frank Farina. It’s well known by now: the Sky Blues were wiped out from the finals series with a 2-1 misfortune loss to Melbourne Victory in the first round.
Frank Farina originally took over from Ian Crook after the Englishman surrendered the team to poor losses. Unfortunately for the Eastern Sydney team, the tradition was continued rather than diminished.
H did seem to put the club on track early in the season, however the result shows that Sydney barely passed – a great opportunity for the finals squandered after a last desperate attempt at former glory.
Farina is presently the seventh manager in nine seasons to leave the Sky Blue club.
Given he had a full season to rebuild the squad, and with Alessandro Del Piero around, he had robust gathering. With this he was required to get the club into the spot for victory.
He was close to bringing them around, he had a guaranteed job if he placed the team in the top 4… they came 5th.
For now the team can lick their wounds and await the next change.
To answer if the team has hope as they did in their origin years… the cliché remains true, the only thing that can give resolve to this question is time.
