Perth Glory today confirmed that Stephen Peters has signed a two-year contract at the Western Australian club.
Peters has been in charge of Glory Women for the past two seasons having previously guided Macarthur Rams to successive NSW NPL championships in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Glory finished 10th in Peters’ first season in charge with six wins from 23 games, before coming within four points of securing Finals football last term after seven victories in 20 matches.
With the club recently announcing plans for a separate HQ and home stadium for it’s women’s team, Peters is excited to be handed the opportunity to lead the club towards a new era.
“To be given the task of coaching this club in the first instance was a huge honour,” he said, “and to then be going into a third season in charge fills me with immense pride.
“For the club to see the progression of the team and put the faith in me to continue to carry this team forward is something I don’t take lightly and I want to repay that faith with a top-six finish. It’s what the club, the Members and fans deserve.”
Perth Glory Football Director Stan Lazaridis believes that Peters is the man to end the club’s seven season wait for Finals football.
“We’ve seen a strong level of progress since Stephen was appointed in 2024,” he said, “and we look forward to seeing that continue over the next two years.
“Our playing group continues to develop and improve under his leadership and having come so close last year, the target now is to go that step further and secure Finals football.
“We are excited to have Stephen at the helm again and to see what the new ALW season will bring.”
Peters will be looking to bring in some new faces to boost his squad after the departure of two of the side’s most talented young, local players after Tijan McKenna left for Norwegian top tier side Vålerenga IF and Grace Johnston moved to newly promoted WSL side Charlton Athletic.
