Managerial history
On 9 September 2008, Sydney FC announced their inaugural head coach as Alen Stajcic. In his first season in charge, he guided the team to the semi-finals before leading them to the double the following season. Sydney FC then took out back-to-back premierships in 2010–11 but were not able to clinch the championship that season. Again, Sydney FC made finals the following season but bowed out in the semi-finals. In Stajcic's final full season in charge, he would steer the team to a second championship in the 2013 W-League Grand Final. During the off-season Stajcic would take up an interim position as the Matildas head coach. This move would be announced as permanent at the beginning of the 2014 season. Sydney would announce his successor, Dan Barrett as the new head coach which would come into effect in round 5 of the season.

Under Barrett, Sydney FC made the finals in all three seasons of his tenure, but were unable to obtain any silverware. They made the grand final on one occasion, in the 2015–16 W-League however, they lost 4–1 to Melbourne City. In his final season in charge, Sydney bowed out in the semi-finals. It was announced on 15 May 2017, that Barrett was resigning from his position as head coach.

On 7 June 2017, it was announced that Ante Juric would be taking over as head coach for the team. In his first season in charge, Sydney finished second after the regular season and were able to secure a home grand final. Unfortunately, they would lose to reigning champions Melbourne City 0–2 in the 2018 W-League Grand Final. The following season, Juric would build on that performance to help guide the team to another championship in the 2019 W-League Grand Final, defeating Perth Glory 4–2, in front of 6,127, which at the time was a record for W-League grand finals. Over the next three seasons, Juric would then guide the team to three consecutive grand finals, unfortunately losing all three. However, over the period from 2020 to 2023, Sydney would achieve an A-League Women record of three consecutive premierships. The final one in the 2022–23 A-League Women campaign would yield the double, when the team went on to win the championship at Western Sydney Stadium against first-year expansion team Western United to a commanding 4–0 scoreline in front of another A-League Women grand finals record crowd.
