Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi has made a discreet enquiry about the Sydney FC coaching role soon to be vacated by Graham Arnold.
The Covert Agent can reveal Aloisi reached out to Sky Blue management recently via a phone call to throw his hat into the ring for the job.
Aloisi's actions suggest he is unhappy with the employment conditions at the Roar under Indonesian owner Bakrie Group.
He currently has a contract with the Roar until the end of the 2019-20 season.
Aloisi won the A-League double with Sydney as player in 2009-10 - playing 40 matches and scoring 11 goals.
