The coaching merry go around at Hume City is in motion again with a coaching change just six weeks into the season.
Despite sitting third with four wins from six games, Hume and coach Cameron Watson have decided to go different ways early into the National Premier League season.
“After mutual agreement, we have decided to part ways,” the club said on Monday.
“We extend our sincerest wishes to Cameron and his coaching staff, Billy Celeski and Baz Sahin, as they embark on new endeavours.
“We thank them for their dedication and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”
Watson was first appointed head coach of Hume at about round six last season before being reappointed at the end of the season. He was the sixth coach in charge of Hume since the start of the 2022 season.
Hume wasted little time in announcing its new coach.
The club then announced that David Chick would take over as coach on Tuesday morning. Chick started the NPL season with the Bentleigh Greens but departed the club after six rounds.
Chick isn’t a stranger to Hume.
“David brings a wealth of experience, having previously coached with us from 2014 to 2017, and having held key coaching positions at Northcote City, Pascoe Vale, Dandenong Thunder, and most recently, Bentleigh Greens,” the club said on social media.
Alongside him, we’re delighted to introduce Andy Vlahos as our assistant coach. With four years of coaching experience at Hume and a track record of making finals every year from 2007 to 2011, we are thrilled to have Andy work alongside David.”
