FORMER Western Spirit head coach Mario Malesevic has left the club in an improved position and appreciative of the support he received.
However, in an ironic twist, last year's men's senior team mentor will coach against Spirit in the 2021 Football Brisbane competition.
Wanting to coach in the Brisbane Premier League (BPL) this year, Malesevic accepted a pre-Christmas opportunity with the Centenary Stormers, expecting Spirit to remain in Capital League 1 (CL1).
However, Goodna-based Spirit were recently admitted into the 2021 BPL competition after finishing in the CL1 top six last season.
Malesevic has handed over the Spirit coaching reins to last year's assistant Reginald Yaqub.
