Having previously sealed two championships during his time at Brisbane Roar, Hopkins holds the record for most Grand Final wins as a coach in the competition.
Despite suffering defeat in last season’s Ninja A-League Grand Final to Central Coast Mariners on penalties, Hopkins’ side enjoyed an outstanding regular season campaign which saw them finish second in the race for the Premiership after going 15 games unbeaten to end the season.

“The hunger to win is as strong as ever, and I’m excited for what’s to come.”
