Leaves McGlinchey as one of the few players under 30 at the club. Increases his chances of staying.

Arnold wasn't sacked - he initiated the discussions which lead to him leaving "by mutual consent" - he was unhappy at several issues surrounding the team such as the majority of players being over 30 and not being able to build the team he wanted.

"Arnold said he was not happy with the fact that 17 players in his squad were over the age of 30 and that he felt his hands were tied when it came to bringing in new players.

"I told the president directly that I wasn't happy with the age of the squad, with the fact that we hadn't been able to make a lot of change and that many of the older players were resistant to change," Arnold told SBS. "I told the president I felt as if I was coaching someone else's team and in the end I have my standards to uphold. I left the meeting for them to discuss the direction of the club and they said they needed to consider the sponsors and supporters and I understand that."

Arnold, who was the first Australian-born coach to ever coach in the J-League, said he had no regrets.

"In the end it was genuinely a decision that we arrived at together," he said. "Things weren't working with the changes we'd liked to have made and we agreed to part ways. Despite the way things ended I walk away with my head held high and I feel I've become a better coach and a better person. I've got no regrets and I enjoyed every minute of the experience."
