"New Zealand Football might yet have a permanent All Whites coach in place by the end of May – the latest in a growing list of target time frames chief executive Andrew Pragnell has stated publicly.
But with the June international window now less than a month away, Darren Bazeley is set to take on a caretaker role for the second time this year, even if a full-time appointment is made before it."
"With an official announcement understood to be imminent..."
Fascinating comments from Voerman. Aligns with One News reporting last month that Pragnell was confident in having a permanent appointment made in May. Also strongly implies Bazeley is not currently being seriously considered as a possibility for the role on a permanent basis. One wonders why a coach appointed this month couldn't be in charge of the June friendlies, would have to either be still under contract in June, or have personal issues, as Pragnell stated their preferred candidate claimed they had.
What a saga this has been.
