Melbourne Knights poor start to the National Premier League season has seen the club sack its coaches.
After the Knights’ loss to Oakleigh Cannons on Friday night, the Knights made the call to change its coaches.
“The Melbourne Knights Football Club would like to announce that it has made the difficult decision to part ways with head coach Ben Surey and assistant coach Craig Moore effective immediately.
“After over a decade of service to the Club, including as a senior men’s player and captain, junior’s technical director, assistant coach and more recently head coach, we sincerely thank Ben for his service and dedication to our club over the years and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
“Stay tuned for further announcements to follow regarding the head and assistant coaches replacements.”
Surey took over as coach from Ben Cahn who moved north to take on the role of coach at A-League side, Brisbane Roar. He has since departed the Roar.
Surey played for the Knights for nine seasons before serving as the club’s under 20’s coach, as well as being caretaker coach on two occasions.
In the lead up to the Cannons coach, Surey told Star Weekly that they hadn’t been far off getting a couple of wins in recent weeks, but couldn’t make the most of their opportunities.
He said the vibe around the group had remained really strong and they needed to keep going through the processes and be honest with each other.
Moore has since been appointed Werribee City’s coach after it parted ways with coach Domenic Barba.
