Tory Schiltgen has been appointed the new head coach of the Wellington Phoenix women’s reserves.
Schiltgen, who joined the club in a wide-ranging role 12 months ago and coached the Phoenix U-18 women to an impressive second place finish in the Women’s Central League this year, replaces Callum Holmes, who has resigned from the academy to focus on his commitments with New Zealand Football.
She will continue as one of Bev Priestman’s assistants in the Ninja A-League, but her analyst responsibilities will shift to Tyron Curtis, who has agreed to a new fulltime position as A-Leagues analyst.
Curtis will continue to work across both Phoenix first teams, but primarily with the women.
Phoenix director of football Shaun Gill is thrilled Schiltgen has agreed to take over as the women’s reserves head coach.
“Tory has really impressed us since arriving from Waterside Karori 12 months ago,” Gill said.
“She is already well respected throughout the club and is the ideal coach to help the next generation of Phoenix women fulfil their dreams of playing professional football.
“Having Tory work across both the reserves and the first team ensures there’s great alignment across the women’s programme.
“As she moves fully into her on-field coaching responsibilities it’s great Tyron has been able to step up to take charge of the women’s first team’s analysis.
“He’s worked his way up through the club since arriving as an intern in 2022 and deserves this opportunity.”
