Graham Arnold has resigned as the head coach of the Australian national football team, the Socceroos, citing the need for change following their disappointing start to the third phase of Asian World Cup qualifying. His decision comes after heavy criticism following losses to Bahrain and Indonesia, despite strong support from Football Australia.
Adelaide United’s Nestory Irankunda, despite not being selected for Australia’s unsuccessful Olympic qualifying campaign, remains determined to represent the Socceroos in the future. While he expressed his initial desire to play in the tournament, Irankunda understands his omission and is focused on his ongoing development. The promising winger is eager to contribute to the Socceroos’ success once he addresses areas of improvement in his game.
