Paul Temple (Women's Head Coach)
He’s definitely higher calibre than Lawerence

So?
Can only assume that they were the best options from those that applied. I have no idea how many, who or what gender the applicants were but I doubt their gender came into the consideration over experience and skilset.
It would be great to have a female coach, but the best coach for the job right now is best for the players.
Hopefully we do develop some great female coaches soon, but I want our players to succeed, so whoever is gonna be best for them I support.
Hopefully NZF have some great coaching programs for women so they can be deve sooner rather than later.

oh I agree, but as has been said - best person for the job has to apply first, gender can't be a deciding factor. Developing female coaching staff is clearly imortant but not at the expense of being succesful on the field.
Similarly you could use the words for the mens team Kiwi and Aussie. Lots of Kiwi players coming through seemingly, but not many coaches.

Any females from England looking for a job :) They surely will have first dibs

Let see how Temple goes! Do we know who or how many applied for the role or was this just a formality?

No list of who applied has been published, and obviously it wouldnt be.
Sure, you'd expect a balance, but then for that to be possible you'd have to assume the applicants were availale to create said balance whilst keeping the required quality.
I would love for gender to not have to be a consideration but until there is a change in society I think that's the only way women will get the opportunity. I'm so tired of people saying 'it should be someone with the qualifications and experience' - how exactly should women get the experience when they are not given the opportunity.
It will be interesting to see what approach Auckland does when they enter the league.
Other roles within the nix have been advertised on the usual sites within NZ, I can't see that coaching roles are any different.
It seems to be the Nix are not looking outside the academy for scholarship players or staff. So they are really only limited to who is already on the payroll at the academy. Keeping in mind that girls space at the academy is still relatively new.
I imagine the Nix will be working to bring new female coaches into their Academy system. I'd be surprised if the Female Nix National League team (ALW reserves) didn't have some mostly female coaches.
As a club they have been pretty proactive in the female space. They wanted an ALW team way before the FA granted them a spot in the ALW.

Jess Fuller and Luke Tongue are the new heads of pre-academy replacing Jesse Rawlings, who has left, after two successful years building the programme, to go on his OE.
Fuller has been the girls and women’s development officer at Southern Football since early 2022, during which time she has coached Southern United’s under-18 women’s team.
She is completing a Masters of Science in sport, exercise and health at the University of Otago and is soon to have her OFC/NZF B coaching licence.
Fuller will coach the academy’s under-15 girls team next year, replacing female development lead Katie Barrott who has taken charge of the women’s reserves.

What a turnaround it has been for the @WgtnPhoenixFC under Paul Temple 👏

Sounds more like this was Chloe’s issues than a wider conspiracy.
Hopefully the team have moved on and can get on with their winning ways
Rylee's interview gave some insight into the Chloe situation without giving too much away and Chloe has now unfollowed her on social media since it came out

Interesting stuff. Interview with Foster below. Speaks fast. She gives a glowing view of the current environment, and like she says she's been at big well resourced clubs like Liverpool & Celtic. She's taken a 50% pay cut to come to the ALW, but she's rebuilding her career after almost dying in that car crash.

I think these 4 Ntn American visa players coming into the women's team, has been as a big a change as Temple taking over from Lawrence/Jones. Maybe even a bigger change to the whole team dynamic given they are the first visas ever with the team, whilst Temple has come from within the club's ranks. Maybe not everyone likes a loud Nth American accent, suggesting changes & new ideas, or that person taking your starting position. Certainly I imagine there has been some 'cultural change', from seasons 1 & 2.
Clean sweep 🏅🧹🔥
