text: # A-League Women Coach of the Year
  
  The A-League Women Coach of the Year is an annual soccer award presented to coaches in Australia. It recognises the most outstanding manager in the A-League Women each season. The recipient is chosen by a vote of all coaches at the conclusion of the regular season.
  
  In 2009, the inaugural Coach of the Year award was given to Jeff Hopkins, who took guided the then Queensland Roar to the premiership-championship double . The current holder of the award is Mark Torcaso of Western United.
  
  Jitka Klimková was the first female recipient of the award in 2012 with Canberra United. The only other female recipient of the award is Melissa Andreatta who received the award in 2018 with Brisbane Roar.
  
  Only one coach has won the award three times, Jeff Hopkins in 2009 with the Roar, and in 2019 and 2021 with Melbourne Victory. The only other coach to have won the award on multiple occasions and was the first to do so, is Alen Stajcic who won the award in 2011 and 2014 with Sydney FC.
