The FFA have been on the lookout for a new coach for the women's national side after Ante Milicic stepped down last month.

Jill Ellis, who coached the United States to back-to-back World Cup triumphs in 2015 and 2019, was also on the FFA's shortlist alongside Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro, according to the Daily Mail.

The FFA did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation of the report.
