On 26 June 2019, Melbourne City appointed Frenchman Erick Mombaerts as new head coach leading the club in being runners-up in the 2019–20 A-League regular season, 2020 A-League Grand Final and 2019 FFA Cup.

Pre-season

The 2020 FFA Cup was cancelled on 3 July 2020.[2]

Nathaniel Atkinson had departed the club for Perth Glory on 1 September 2020.[3] Two days later, the club appointed former assistant coach Patrick Kisnorbo to the head manager position prior to the start of the season on 3 September, after previous coach Erick Mombaerts left the club to return to his native country France.[4] Lachlan Wales was released following the end of his contract,[5] while Aiden O'Neill joined for City's first signing of the season on 8 September.[6]

City signed three youthful players, Taras Gomulka, Marco Tilio and Matt Sutton along with the departure of Gianluca Iannucci on 21 September.[7] Nathaniel Atkinson would then only after 23 days after departing City, had returned[8] within Joshua Brillante leaving two days later.[9] The next day had Andrew Nabbout join City after his short stint with Perth Glory.[10]

Joe Gauci left the club without a single appearance for City and joined Adelaide United on 7 October.[11] The following day, Ramy Najjarine was loaned to Newcastle Jets and Moudi Najjar loaned to Macarthur FC.[12] A week later, Ben Garuccio made a return signing on 16 October.[13]

On 16 November, City played their first friendly of the season, against rivals Melbourne Victory in a game with three 45-minute halves at Marvel Stadium which resulted in a 3–3 draw with a goal by Curtis Good and two from Jamie Maclaren.[14] City returned to the City Football Academy for their second friendly of the season against Western United on 28 November, with a 2–1 win via goals by Andrew Nabbout and Jamie Maclaren.[15]
