Auckland FC coach Steve Corica resigns

Auckland FC coach Steve Corica will depart the A-League club - just months after winning the Grand Final.

In a statement this morning AFC said Corica had made the "difficult decision" to leave.

Australian Corica joined AFC in January 2025 as the club's first ever head coach. He is leaving to pursue an opportunity overseas.

"It has been a fantastic two years with a city, a fan group and a team that have all been way beyond my expectations," he said in a statement.

"I didn't know quite what I was getting into when I joined two years ago, but what an experience it has been."

Under Corica, AFC won two major trophies; 24/25 Premiers and 25/26 Champions.

"We wish Steve all the best and he is always welcome back at the Black Knights," AFC majority owner Bill Foley said.
