RNZ National Wellington 14d14d Impact 5
Chris Greenaker has officially taken the top coaching position for the Wellington Phoenix men's team. Greenaker previously served four separate stints as a caretaker coach for the club. He had previously acted as caretaker for former coaches Ernie Merrick and Mark Rudin. The appointment follows a long apprenticeship within the organization. He led the team to four wins in eight matches to conclude the A-League season. The Englishman moved to Wellington in 2009 to join the Phoenix as a player before transitioning into assistant coaching roles. Greenaker stated that the role was a paramount prospect he had been looking to secure. He noted that the timing felt right as he felt he had enough experience to justify the position.
