Newcastle Jets started the season with Ernie Merrick as their head coach. Following bad results and sitting bottom of the table, Merrick was sacked in January 2020 and Newcastle Jets' W-League coach Craig Deans together with Qiang Li were appointed as caretaker coaches. A month later, Jets appointed Welshman Carl Robinson as the head coach, signing him on a 3.5 year contract. A week after his appointment, Robinson added Kenny Miller to the coaching staff. In June, Darren Bazeley was added to the coaching staff.
