Melbourne Victory Fire Durakovic, Muscat Named Caretaker

Well, I think after the festive period results for the Victory, most supporters probably saw the writing on the wall for Durakovic. In fairness, I'm sure Durakovic did too. You just can't take over a club like the Victory, with all the expectations and all the talent, and put out these results.

What results? On the year the Victory are 3-5-6. That puts them just above the bottom of the A League table. If they wanted to try and get something out of this campaign, now was the time for change.

Now as a general rule I'm not a big fan of blaming it all on the manager, especially when he's only half way through the first year. I really thought they'd give him the season. I guess not.

Kevin Muscat was appointed caretaker coach until a new head man is found. However, multiple sources are saying that the new head man has been found already. Well, I try not to engage in a lot of speculation on this blog, but if that's true, Durakovic was probably out long before it was official.

Even as a Victory supporter, I hate to see someone have to go through a sacking like that. Best of luck to Durakovic in wherever he goes next.
