The Canberra Times has reported that the Bay Area CyberRays have made former Australian women’s national team coach Tom Sermanni an assistant coach to head coach Ian Sawyers. Sermanni, most recently the coach of the Canberra Cosmos men’s club, resigned from the Cosmos on Feb. 19 to take the CyberRays job. The Australian newspaper also reported that the New York Power approached Sermanni earlier in the year about a coaching position but negotiations collapsed. Sermanni coached the Matildas at the 1995 World Cup in Sweden, where they lost to Sawyers’ wife, Julie Foudy, and the United States, 4-1.
