SYDNEY — Graham Arnold has resigned as head coach of the Australian men's soccer team after six years in charge and following two recent poor performances by the Socceroos in 2026 World Cup qualifying. Soccer Australia said Friday that Arnold advised them earlier this week of his decision. It said the organization will begin a search for a new head coach. His departure comes after the Socceroos picked up just one point from a possible six in their opening two games in the third round of World Cup qualifying. The team lost 1-0 to Bahrain on the Gold Coast in Australia and was held scoreless in a 0-0 draw away to Indonesia.
