WANGARATTA City's 2019 cup winning coach Daniel Vasilevski has coached his last game.

Vasilevski led his team to the league–and–cup double in 2019, finished joint league winners in 2021 and came as close to a 2022 cup final win without taking the cup home on Saturday night.

After four years at the helm, Vasilevski said his time is up.

"I'm definitely feeling mixed emotions," Vasilevski said.

"I've been involved with the club since we moved so I haven't known anything else than driving to South Wangaratta Reserve every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

"We've had another child since moving so now it's time to spend some time with both of them while they're young.

"Hopefully I'll still be around the club as a supporter and I'll definitely keep an interest in how the guys are going, I may even pull the boots on in the over 35s but we'll see what happens."

Vasilevski admitted that coaching has taken up a large chunk of his life.

"I need a break, I was pretty relieved when the season ended on the weekend, it was really disappointing to lose and I'm still getting over it but I feel relieved," he said.

"So much energy goes into planning training every week, as well as game day so I'll have heaps of time for my two young kids (Ollie, 5–years–old and Lily, 2) now.

"I'm looking forward to taking the kids, and even my wife (Genevieve) down to the soccer on Sundays.

"I'll be able to turn up at three o'clock and sit on the camp chair on the hill."

Vasilevski made an instant impact on the Devils with his highly successful 2019 campaign in his first year as coach.

"2019 is definitely the highlight," he said.

"That was a massive year, we won everything, we won the pre–season cup, league and cup final, it was unbelievable.

"I think I just want to be remembered around the club for bringing high standards which hopefully showed when we played."

Apart from his 2019 triumphs, the former A–League player will always remember the clashes with Myrtleford.

"I remember when the club first contacted me they asked me to come down to a game against Myrtleford in 2018 to have a look and we went down 6–0," he said.

"To then win the next four or five when I signed on as coach was just awesome.

"I loved playing them and loved beating them, there was just a really good cross–town rivalry there."

After playing professional soccer, Vasilevski has ambitions to one day return to the level to coach.

"I'd like to believe that one day I might get back into coaching," he said.

"Once the kids grow up a bit I want to get my pro badges and maybe coach at a higher level.

"Football's been a part of my life since I was five–years–old so it's going to be interesting not being involved, some professional players get that feeling when they retire but I went straight from playing to coaching so I haven't felt that yet."

Vasilevski thanked his family for allowing him to do what he's done over the past three years.

"My wife Genevieve has allowed me to coach because quite often you put yourself first when you do things like these," he said.

"I'd also like to thank the club for taking my family and I into the club and making us feel welcomed.

"Ollie will be playing miniroos so I'll still be around."
