Wonder if he will stay for full 2 years. I guess it depends how the Nix finish the second half of the season. Scary to see him say in hindsight he wouldn't of taken the role..

First step will be confirmation of licence extension, so that Rudan can forsee a future in Wellington.

If the licence is extended, 2nd step is convincing him to stay and bring his family over. Persuading him that the Nix is a better bet than Sydney FC, new team MacArthur SW Sydney (where worryingly he has family connections), Adelaide or whoever.

Maybe NZF/Schmid can help a little, by giving him a little bit of exposure to international coaching, like inviting him to AWs/U23s camps in the A League off season. What young coach wouldn't enjoy that extra opportunity. Greenacre could be the link with something like that.

Obviously something has to give, as the current family setup doesn't sound sustainable for him.

It's not unusual in the sports world though. From memory Merrick left his family in Melbourne (kids older I presume).

Warren Gatland coached Wales, whilst his kids were finishing school in Hamilton.

Dan Carter's wife & kids are in Auckland, whilst he plays rugby in Japan (is admittedly a short rugby season in Nippon).

Anyway as soon as the licence situation is confirmed, and assuming it is good news - Welnix obviously need to sweet talk Rudan, but also plan for his exit. Help some young NZ based coaches get their badges, and make a case to FFA that the A licence should be enough for Kiwi coaches just like Australians.
