The Sunbury Kangaroos are on the hunt for a new women’s coach, with previous coach Ron Sikora making the move to a different club.
The Kangaroos, who had two teams in the Essendon District Football League competition last season, announced on social media that Sikora had stood down from the senior coaching role after two years.
“The Sunbury Kangaroos are disappointed to announce that Ron Sikora has stepped down from his position as senior women’s coach,” the post said.
“Ron has been with us for two years and has worked tirelessly during this time to build up the women’s program at the Kangaroos.
“We thank and appreciate the efforts of Ron during this time. Ron will always be welcomed around the club and we wish him well in his future endeavours.”
The club last week advertised for a new coach seeking a highly motivated, well-organised and passionate individual with excellent leadership qualities to take on the role.
The Kangaroos finished fifth in division 1 and bottom in division 2 last year.
Sikora will still be involved in the EDFL in his new role.
Just days after the announcement from the Kangaroos, Strathmore announced that Sikora would be their women’s coach this season.
The Mores won the division 1 premiership last season and are set to play in the premier division this year.
“After an extensive search and interview process, SFC welcomes Ron Sikora as our new senior women’s coach in premier division for 2023,” the club said on social media.
“While Ron’s resume is extensive it’s also his philosophy, passion, commitment and enthusiasm for the progression of women’s football at SFC that impressed the interview panel.”
Applications for the Kangaroos job close January 27.
