SYDNEY FC have been rebuffed by Jets coach Gary van Egmond over an offer to coach the sky blues.

The Daily Telegraph understands van Egmond was approached last week, but has turned the offer down.



Van Egmond’s name has largely gone under the radar in terms of the Sydney job since Ian Crook quit a fortnight ago, but he was approached about the role before Crook was appointed in May.



Sydney’s pursuit of van Egmond threatened an almighty row with the Jets, who recently extended their coach’s contract in his second spell at the club, after he resigned under previous owner Con Constantine to work at the AIS.
