The role of an Australia national football team manager was first established in 1965 with the appointment of Tiko Jelisavčić. Before this, the Australia team was selected by a committee, a process in which Australia would select coaches and trainers to prepare the side for single games.

Twenty men have occupied the post since its inception; five of those were in short-term caretaker manager roles.
