“Mile has been with the club since its inception,” Krslovic said.
“He has helped develop and shape the foundations of the club both on and off the field, culminating in the Australia Cup victory, qualification for the (AFC Cup), and, above all, player development and opportunities.
“We look forward to continuing the positive trajectory with Mile over the coming years.”
Sterjovski added: ““Very grateful to be still part of the club and proud to be leading the team. It’s been a great journey so far, with ups and downs.”
“My ambition is quite simple: I want us to be a successful team first and foremost. I think we are going to be a great club, one of the best in the a-league.”
“It’s important that we are all behind the club. I think we are moving the right direction. The fan base is growing and we all have a big job to do. I can see us being a big club in the future.”
