Capital Football seeks fifth CEO in four years after Farrow departure

Samantha Farrow quit as Capital Football boss recently. This marks the fifth CEO change in four years.

Samantha Farrow left Capital Football recently. Darren Davis stepped in as interim chief executive.

The board is searching for a permanent replacement. Farrow's tenure saw the collapse of Canberra's biggest club, Gungahlin United, and loss of control of Canberra United in the A-League Women.

Former executives said the next leader must understand football and navigate Australian soccer's complex politics. Rapid turnover has unsettled Canberra's soccer community.
