Following the departure of head coach Branko Culina to Canberra Cosmos, the club appointed former Socceroo Dave Mitchell as player-coach. Despite a significant turnover in personnel—losing key players such as Zeljko Kalac (who returned mid-season after a failed move to Portsmouth), David Zdrilic, Ante Milicic, Ante Moric, Mark Babic, Robert Enes, and Krešimir Marušić—United responded by recruiting a number of seasoned professionals, including Robbie Hooker, David Barrett, Abbas Saad, Peter Bennett, and Stuart Munro.Australia Soccer 1997-98 National Soccer League Guide 1997 Soccer Australia Paddington, NSW 34-35 1997-98 Sydney United began the season strongly, losing just once in their opening sixteen matches. However, a late-season slump—triggered by a spate of injuries and suspensions—saw the team manage only a single win from their final eight games. Despite the downturn, United held on to finish fourth on the league table.The Australian National League http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9798/NSL.html www.ozfootball.net 1 October 2025Australian Soccer http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9798/ALTable.html www.ozfootball.net 1 October 2025 In the finals series, Sydney United faced local rivals Marconi Stallions, but were eliminated after consecutive 1–0 defeats.1998 National Soccer League Playoff results http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9798/Playoff.html www.ozfootball.net 1 October 2025 Abbas Saad finished as the club's leading goalscorer, netting nine goals across the campaign.Sydney United Page http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSLclubs/SU9798.html www.ozfootball.net 1 October 2025 The 1997–98 season was the only NSL campaign in which Sydney United did not host home matches at the Sydney United Sports Centre.
