CLUB legend Bobby Despotovski has been appointed head coach of Perth Glory Women.

Despotovski played 241 games for the club and remains its all-time leading scorer over a 10-year career: he was one of the most successful strikers in the now-defunct Australian National Soccer League. He managed Inglewood United in 2007 and was recently head coach of the Perth Glory under 20s in the PS4 National Premier League.

Despotovski says aside from winning silverware, he wants to promote the women’s game in WA.

“When I first played with the Glory we had to do many hours of marketing activities a week to promote the game, which included going out to schools and clubs. To get the league and women’s game to another level we need to get bigger crowds and attract more sponsorship.”
