Knights part ways with coach

Melbourne Knights tough National Premier League season has claimed another scalp, with the club announcing another coaching change.

The Knights announced on Tuesday that John Markovski wouldn’t coach out the last three games of the season.

“Melbourne Knights FC has officially parted ways with Senior Men’s NPL Head Coach John Markovski and his assistant Sean Vah,” the club said on social media.

“We extend our sincere thanks to John and Sean for their contribution to the club and the dedication they’ve shown during their time with us.

“We wish them all the very best in their future endeavours, both on and off the pitch.”

Markovski took on the coaching role after club legend Ivan Franjic stood down from the role he took on full time this season.

Markovski, who played in a championship at the Knights, said at the time he wanted to help the club return to where it belongs.

The club had three wins and 11 losses when he took over after round 14.

Since then they have added just one more win to the tally, along with three draws.

Knights sit bottom of the table with just 14 points and are on the brink of relegation with three rounds remaining.

The Knights are due to face Hume City on Friday night.

As well as on field troubles, the club had to appoint a new committee after the sudden resignation of the previous committee.

In a release at the time, the new committee acknowledged that the club’s financial position had presented challenges.

“We’re committed to working with you to build a stronger, more vibrant club for everyone,” the new committee said in June.

“We believe that effective leadership is built on a foundation of strategic focus, strong financial governance, open dialogue, a commitment to actively listening to our members and supporters and embrace a culture of transparency, trust and accountability.
