The Matildas are facing a coaching upheaval months out from the start of their 2019 Women's World Cup campaign with suggestions coach Alen Stajcic and backroom members could part ways with the team.

The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age understand an announcement could take place as early as Saturday on a major in operations of the national team. Sources suggest there has been a rift between some staff members and players recently, with several players shocked to have been summoned to an abrupt team meeting set for next week in Sydney at short notice.

It's understood there is significant conjecture around the future of Stajcic as Matildas coach despite overseeing arguably the most successful period of the national team, with Australia entering the 2019 World Cup as one of the top six nations and a chance to win the title. According to The Australian, Stajcic has reportedly attracted offers from abroad on the back of his performance as coach of Australia.

It's understood there has also been interest from A-League clubs in his services.
