The Roar played their first game without Aloisi in charge on Saturday night, courageous in their 2-1 A-League defeat to Sydney FC just a day after the former Socceroos striker's resignation.

Aloisi's decision to quit came after a disastrous start to the season for the Roar, who have now lost five straight games for just the second time in the club's history.

The search for the next coach has already begun with a number of names linked to the role, including Paul Okon and former Newcastle Jets boss Scott Miller.

Davies also has experience as a Young Socceroos and Melbourne Victory assistant, and was on Ange Postecoglou's staff for last year's FIFA Confederations Cup.

But he is unsure whether he wants to pursue his first his first full-time head-coaching job at the Roar.

"It's too raw at the moment," Davies said.

"I was told when John resigned. I was called in, it's raw, there is emotion there. I was just focused on tonight. In all honesty I haven't thought about it."

Brisbane had just 42 per cent of the ball against the Sky Blues on Saturday night, but had a chance to draw the game with five minutes to play from the penalty spot.

They have a short turnaround into Wednesday's trip to Newcastle, a factor Davies hoped may help maintain his team's morale given their disappointment at Aloisi's departure.

"It was difficult because the playing group were very fond of him and what he has done for every single one of us," Davies said.

"The playing group was down to have lost him.

"But as professionals there is a job to do and there were a few Brisbane Roar fans there (on Friday) and we had to do that as professionals."
