Football Federation Australia chief David Gallop has met with senior Matildas players in the wake of coach Alen Stajcic’s sudden sacking.

But Gallop remains tight-lipped publicly, not detailing specifics about Stajcic’s shock removal in the wake of a report alleging cultural failings in the camp under his tenure.

Gallop addressed the leadership of the Matildas squad at a hotel in Coogee in Sydney’s south-east on Monday morning.

The FFA boss departed without any public clarification on the surprise axing of Stajcic just five months before the World Cup in France.

The Matildas are next in action later next month when hosting a four-nation series, with the FFA pledging to find an interim coach to lead Australia through to the World Cup.

Interesting developments. David Gallop spoke to Matildas this morning. Then left. But he is coming back to talk to them again. Seems a lot of questions are being asked by those within the Matildas. — Ray Gatt (@Gatty54) January 21, 2019

Arsenal’s women’s team manager Joe Montemurro has been linked to the role as Stajcic considers his legal options.

A core group of players including captains Clare Polkinghorne and Lisa De Vanna and star attacker Sam Kerr took to social media to express alarm and hurt at their coach’s axing on Saturday.

Stajcic’s predecessor Tom Sermanni also hit out at Stajcic’s sacking and FFA’s decision to withhold the ‘smoking gun’ that brought about the end of his tenure.
