Hay said Rojas, at Chile’s Colo-Colo, would be best served staying in South America to break into the first team.

“He’s so important in terms of what he’s doing over there, creating pathways for Kiwi footballers,” Hay said.

While Australia will use the matches as a springboard to the World Cup, beginning in November, New Zealand will head into hiatus following the series.

Hay said the governing body were feeling the pinch from missing Qatar and weren’t likely to play again until March.

“There was more than just getting to the World Cup in that game against Costa Rica. The $16million was a big factor and it was a big part of New Zealand Football’s financial planning,” he said.

The matches could also be Hay’s last at the helm, with a contract expiring at month’s end.

The 47-year-old said it was undecided whether he’d stay on, but he felt he had more to offer in the role.

“We’ll have time to sit down on how everything’s gone and then make some decisions,” he said.

Hay was controversially chosen for the role ahead of Des Buckingham, who led New Zealand to a win against Erling Haaland-led Norway at the 2019 Under-19 World Cup.
