“I’m extremely proud and thankful to all of our players, my staff, our Members and fans and everyone at Sydney FC who has supported us,” said Juric.
“This has been the toughest year to coach by far having had so many changes from last year’s team, to go to Uzbekistan midway during the season and to have a lot of injuries early on, plus losing a lot of players to the under 20’s Asian Cup recently.
“Everyone has pulled together, put in a fantastic effort and we’ve worked very hard.
“To have made history with this record is another unbelievable achievement and I’m delighted for everyone involved.
“We’ll celebrate it tonight and look forward to achieving more history next season.”
Sydney FC Captain Natalie Tobin has been present for four out of the Sky Blues’ five Championship wins.
She congratulated her team-mates and the work ethic and culture at the club.
“Our squad has been phenomenal this season and overcome so much. I can’t praise them enough,” she said.
“We have a large group but there’s a really great culture which every single one of our players buys into, and they are all deserving of this record-breaking achievement.
“It’s been tough to take a back seat this season but I’m so proud of the way Princess (Ibini) has led the team and of all the experienced players for stepping up during a turbulent season.
