Mark Milligan departs Adelaide United for ‘overseas opportunity’: Details

Adelaide United assistant coach Mark Milligan has left the Isuzu UTE A-League club for an opportunity abroad.

Milligan – who had been touted as a potential replacement for Patrick Kisnorbo at Melbourne Victory following his move to Yokohama F.Marinos in Japan – had been Carl Veart’s assistant since his appointment in 2022.
“I’ve had the privilege of working with some fantastic players at the club since my arrival,” said the retired Socceroo.
“I wish the club all the best for the upcoming season, and I’ll be cheering on the Reds from afar.”

Airton Andrioli, who will also remain as Adelaide’s Head of Youth Development, and Travis Dodd will jointly assume Milligan’s coaching responsibilities for the remainder of the 2024-25 season, starting against Macarthur.

“It’s been a privilege to have Mark as part of our coaching staff. Watching him grow and evolve as a coach has been a real pleasure, and I’m confident he has a bright and successful coaching career ahead of him,” said head coach Veart.

“We thank him for his dedication and wish him all the best for the future.”

Adelaide’s head of football, Marius Zanin added: “Mark has embraced the Adelaide United culture since arriving at the club in 2022 and has been a pleasure to have as part of our coaching staff.

“We wish him all the best in this new chapter of his career.”
