Western Sydney Wanderers suffered a devastating 7-0 defeat at the hands of Melbourne City, marking the heaviest loss in the club's history. Following the match, under-pressure coach Marko Rudan was notably absent from the post-match press conference, with assistant coach Jean-Paul de Marigny stepping in to field questions.
The Wanderers' spokesperson confirmed that Rudan, who remains under contract until the end of the 2026-27 season, is still employed by the club. De Marigny explained Rudan's absence by stating that he was engaged in a team meeting, dismissing concerns about the coach's well-being.
