Brighton is mourning the loss of Rado Vidosic, the club's head of women's and girls' coaching, who passed away at 64. Interim manager Chris Roberts described Vidosic as "one of the most incredible men" he'd ever met. Dario Vidosic, Rado's son, is the first-team manager, and is currently away from the club. The news has sent shockwaves through the football community.

Vidosic had a long and impactful career. Before joining Brighton in January 2023, he spent six years with Melbourne City, coaching both the men's and women's teams. He also worked with Brisbane Roar, Sydney FC, Melbourne Victory, and Wellington Phoenix. His influence extended to player development and team methodology, leaving a lasting legacy.

Roberts stated that there is no set return date for Dario, as the club focuses on supporting him and his family. Brighton is scheduled to play London City Lionesses in the Women's Super League on Sunday, with tributes planned. The team will aim to honor Rado's memory, both on and off the pitch, during this difficult period.

This loss is felt deeply, with tributes pouring in from across the football world. Rado Vidosic was known for his mentorship and ability to bring out the best in players. His impact on Brighton and the wider football community will be remembered. The Women's Football Weekly podcast will continue to cover the WSL.
