THE naming of Brisbane Roar’s new coach is likely to be delayed until next month to allow the club to resolve its financial crisis.

Interim coach Frans Thijssen and assistants Rado Vidosic and Jeff Hopkins are set to remain in control for the Roar’s June 3 friendly against Spanish club Villarreal at Suncorp Stadium.

The match is now certain to go ahead after a Spanish court suspended the mooted player strike over La Liga’s new television deal.

That is music to the ears of Socceroos pair Matt McKay and Luke DeVere, who need the hit-out to push their selection claims for Australia’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against Kyrgyzstan on June 16 in Bishkek.

However, some Roar players remain concerned about the delay in the naming of the club’s new coach as it adds to the uncertainty about their own playing future.

While Football Federation Australia officials await for chairman Chris Fong’s return from Indonesia to ascertain if club owners the Bakrie Group are genuine about rescuing the club from their financial mess, players also want some answers.

Serbian international striker Andrija Kaluderovic and veteran left fullback Shane Stefanutto are among a handful of players coming off contract.

It’s understood that 35-year-old Stefanutto had been offered a new one-year deal by former football director Ken Stead and ex-managing director Sean Dobson.

Kaluderovic, who only joined the club in January, wants some clarity about his situation.

Rarely used duo George Lambadaridis and Kofi Danning have been told to look elsewhere, while loan signing Adam Sarota will return to his Dutch team FC Utrecht.

There is also a chance that the club may try to sell some players to overseas clubs to raise some money, similar to the $1.8 million sale of Sarota, Tommy Oar and Michael Zullo to Utrecht in 2010.

The departed Stead’s preferred coaching option had been Ramon Tribulietx, but after spending last week in Brisbane, the Spaniard’s future is now also in limbo.

Player agents wanting to discuss their clients’ futures have been unsuccessful in their attempts to speak to Fong, who took over the day-to-day running of the club following the departure of Dobson.

Thijssen won’t be around next season, while Vidosic and Hopkins, whose contracts are also about to expire, are awaiting the announcement of the new coach to discover if they will be offered jobs on his coaching staff.

Following the clash against the Villarreal, the Roar squad will go on leave until early July, when the new coach should be in place to prepare the Brisbane team for the July 19 visit of English Premier League club Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Western Sydney Wanderers yesterday parted ways with 10 players — Iacopo La Rocca, Ante Covic, Jason Trifiro, Tomi Juric, Antony Golec, Nikita Rukavystya, Kerem Bulut, Nick Ward, Nick Kalmar and Adrian Madaschi.
