Peter Cklamovski (Macedonian: Петар Чкламовски; born 16 October 1978) is an Australian football manager of Macedonian descent. He is currently the head coach of Malaysia national football team.
Cklamovski built one of the most respected coaching partnerships in Australian football history as the trusted right-hand man of world-renowned Manager Ange Postecoglou, which spanned over 15 years and multiple continents.
Cklamovski began his professional journey in 2004 with Australia’s National Youth Teams, working under Postecoglou at FIFA Youth World Cups and AFC Championships, before moving abroad to Greece’s Panaxaiki FC and later joining Melbourne Victory FC in Australia’s premier competition, A-League.
In 2014, Cklamovski joined Postecoglou’s staff with the Australian National Team (Socceroos), serving as Assistant Coach through one of the nation’s most successful periods ever. As part of the wider coaching and support team, they led the Socceroos at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, guided the team to success at the 2015 AFC Asian Cup becoming Champions in what was Australia’s first ever continental title, secured their place at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and earned qualification for the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018™.
Cklamovski also managed Australia under-17 team in 2017, guiding them through 2018 AFC U-16 Championship qualification.
He later joined Postecoglou at Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan as Assistant Coach in 2018, helping the team secure the 2019 J1 League title, their first since 2004.
In 2020, Cklamovski became Head Coach of Shimizu S-Pulse in J1 League. He then managed Montedio Yamagata in J2 League, where he is credited with transforming the team's style into an attacking, win-focused approach. His tenure saw the Club achieve its best win percentage and points-per-game record in history while avoiding relegation and nearing promotion in 2022. Cklamovski was then signed by J1 League outfit FC Tokyo in 2023, where he would reshape the Club's footballing DNA with attendance surging to an all-time home Club record of 57,885 and an average home attendance of 33,225 which was second highest in the J.League for season 2024.
Cklamovski brought to an end a successful seven year spell in Japanese club football at the end of the 2024 J1 League season, taking up the position of Malaysia national team Head Coach in January 2025.
