Buckingham might feel NZF have burnt their bridges with him over the U23s fiasco and anyway, has a secure job in Indian Super League.
I respect Bazeley and don't get the hate he has gotten in the past, but he isn't the calibre of an AWs coach. Also wouldn't select anyone from the domestic-based contingent.
Uffie would probably do a decent job but given he is likely to leave the Nix at the end of this season, I think it's pretty unlikely.
Any other Aussies that might be available? Someone with experience in the A-League and/or Aus youth teams could be a go.
