With experienced mentor Tom Sermanni locked in as the Matildas' interim coach, Football Australia will ramp up its search for the full-time candidate entrusted to take the team forward.
On Tuesday, FA announced Sermanni, who led the Matildas in two stints between 1994-1997 and 2005-2012 including winning the 2010 Women's Asian Cup, would take the reins ahead of upcoming friendlies.
The Matildas play Germany away in October and are also expected to face Switzerland in that window.
