Popa leaving after 5 seasons at WSW shouldnt be huge surprise, in 40 years only 7 ppl have coached >5 full consecutive seasons at same club:

I'm thankful for what Tony Popovic achieved with WSW in our formative years. An ACL trophy won't be topped any time soon.

Can not be understated what he has done for our club! Club legend always. #WSW #popa

It'll be strange seeing a WSW team led by someone other than Popa, respect him for taking the chance OS.
