NZF hopeful of hooking Herbert
AUCKLAND – New Zealand Football have confirmed they are still in discussions with Ricki Herbert and Wellington Phoenix for Herbert to continue as the All Whites head coach.
NZF chairman Frank van Hattum said he and Herbert have agreed in principle for Herbert to continue in his New Zealand role, which for the last three years he has balanced with his Wellington Phoenix duties, but now need to work through any new arrangement with the A-League club.
“We’ve shaken hands on it but that gentlemen’s agreement is only part of the picture,” van Hattum said.
“It’s the same scenario no matter where Ricki committed himself at club level. The next thing following that decision is to secure access with that club, and New Zealand Football are continuing that dialogue with Wellington Phoenix.”
Herbert took over as national team coach in 2005, qualifying for both the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The All Whites drew with Slovakia, Italy and Paraguay in South Africa last month finishing the tournament as the only unbeaten nation.
