Managerial history
Bleiberg
Farina
Frank Farina's arrival led to a mini-revival which saw the club narrowly miss out on what would have been the Roar's first finals appearance, on goal difference. The
Postecoglou
Ange Postecoglou arrived mid-season armed with the task of picking up the pieces of a season in tatters. The 2009–10 season ended as the worst in the club's short history, finishing second from the bottom. Postecoglou completed a turn-around in the 2010–11 season. He made wholesale changes to the squad, commencing with the replacement of the "old-guard" of Charlie Miller, Craig Moore and Danny Tiatto and brought in his own squad which was a mixture of youth and talented experience. Under his brand of possession/attacking football, he would lead the team to win the club's inaugural Championship and go on to complete the club's first Double by also wrapping up the Premiership in a memorable 2011 A-League Grand Final in front of a then club record 50,168 supporters. The club went on an Australian sporting record 36-match unbeaten run which commenced in the 2010–11 season and ran through to the 2011–12 season. After much speculation on his future at the club, it was reported that Postecoglou had signed a three-year contract extension.[1]
With such a successful season behind him, there was much talk as to whether the Roar could equal or better that in the
On 24 April 2012, Postecoglou left the club by way of mutual consent, citing a desire to seek "a new challenge".[2] Ange leaves the club as the most successful manager in the club's history.
On 26 April 2012, it was reported that Postecoglou did not, in fact, sign a new contract at the conclusion of the 2010–11 season due to the uncertainty around the club's ownership at the time. That allowed his original two-year contract with the club to expire at the conclusion of the 2011–12 season and leave to join Melbourne Victory without the Victory needing to pay out his "contract" with the Roar.[3]
Vidošić
On 25 April 2012, Rado Vidošić was promoted to the Managers' position after serving seven years as Assistant Manager under the three previous managers before him.[4] On December 18, 2012, Vidošić was removed as coach, taking up the role of technical director for the club. Vidošić was only manager for thirteen (13) matches before transferring to the new role, similar to the one offered to Postecoglou before his exit earlier in 2012.[5]
Mulvey
On 18 December 2012, Mike Mulvey was appointed manager after Rado Vidošić was "removed" from his position.
Aloisi
On 26 May 2015, John Aloisi was named manager of Brisbane Roar. In both of his first two seasons at the club, the Roar achieved a top 3 finish in the league, and made it to the semi-finals.
In May 2017, Aloisi signed a new three-year contract to stay on as manager of Brisbane.
