Multiple sources have reported that Alen Stajcic, Head Coach of the Matildas, has been given his marching orders.
Following a post on twitter from journalist Tracey Holmes, social media has been buzzing with speculation.
Just this week the 45-year-old spoke with TWG podcast about the rise of women's football and changing the way the game is perceived.
