Perth Glory Head Coach Adam Griffiths has signed a new two-year contract extension with the club.
The 46-year-old took charge after Round 2 of the 2025/26 Isuzu UTE A-League season following the dismissal of former Head Coach David Zdrilic.
Initially appointed on an interim basis, Griffiths was then officially given the reins for the remainder of the campaign.

Whilst Perth ultimately missed out on playing finals football the Glory board believe Griffiths and his coaching staff oversaw a ‘significant improvement in the team’s performances’.
“I would like to thank the owner, Ross Pelligra and the board for putting their faith in me to take Perth Glory forward,” Griffiths said.
“This club means everything to me and I am hungry to take it where it belongs.
He continued: “We have done a lot of the hard work; built the culture, set the standards and created a belief in this group that wasn’t here before.
“Now we go and deliver.

“Finals football is the expectation and I back this club, this squad and this city to get there.
“The Glory supporters have given me everything since I walked through the door.
“I feel their passion every single game and I want nothing more than to deliver the success this city is hungry for.
“They are a massive part of what we are building and we are just getting started.”
Glory CEO Anthony Radich believes that Griffiths has shown that he is the right man to drive the club’s ALM side forward.
“The significant progress the team made under Adam’s charge is clear to see,” he said.
“He worked hard to earn his opportunity which came about under difficult circumstances early last season and under his guidance, we have seen something begin to grow.
“Adam has instilled competitiveness, structure and belief into the playing group who have clearly bought in to his approach.
“A number of the young players, in particular, have taken their performances to a new level under Adam’s guidance and that ability to develop our emerging talent is integral to our plans for the club going forward.
“Our Members and fans have also warmed to Adam as a person and I believe his ambition to play an entertaining, attacking style of football will resonate strongly with them and reflect this club’s traditions.
“Having the opportunity to plan and oversee a full pre-season with his own staff will allow Adam to further instil his philosophy into the playing group and provide the stability within the football department which is essential for success.
“We are confident that under Adam, our A-League Men side will challenge very strongly for a Finals berth in 2026/27.”
