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.

Brazilian superstar Douglas Costa produces a superb finish from inside the box against Melbourne City.

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.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Just ask Melbourne Victory, who have divested "vampire lenders" 777 Partners and brought in Brighton owner Tony Bloom.
