A-League Men News

Newcastle Jets have parted ways with Rob Stanton just months after he signed a two-year contract extension, although the coach will see out the A-League season.

Josh Cavallo, men's football's first openly gay active player, said he struggles encourage other players to come out due to the sport's "toxic" environment.

Brighton & Hove Albion owner Tony Bloom has added a minority stake in Australian club Melbourne Victory to his footballing portfolio, purchasing 19.1% of the A-League outfit.
