Peters has recently been in charge of the Macarthur Rams women's side in the NSW National Premier League, enjoying remarkable success in the process.
The 40-year-old took over the Rams in 2021, and after helping them secure a top-five finish in his first season, he led the Campbelltown-based side to back-to-back championships, while breaking the league record of 26 matches without defeat.
Peters takes over at Glory from Alex Epakis, who stood down for personal reasons in June after four seasons in charge.
