South Melbourne FC is excited to formally announce the appointment of Jamie Reed as the club’s Senior Coach.
A familiar face to the South Melbourne family, Jamie played an influential role in our 2014 Championship triumph and returns to Lakeside with a strong connection to the club and its people.

Senior Football Director Peter Kokotis said Jamie’s appointment reflected the Football Department’s focus on building on the foundations already established.
“Jamie knows what it means to represent South Melbourne and the expectations that come with the role. His connection to the club, combined with his strong football background in the North West of the United Kingdom, makes him an excellent fit.
“We want to play attacking football that excites our supporters, while continuing to develop our younger players. Jamie shares that vision and we look forward to supporting him.”
General Manager Strati Xynas highlighted Jamie’s ambition.
