Unsure, the club didn't even acknowledge him in the announcement they put out
Pasadena 72

There was an Instagram post August 15th acknowledging Zico. Looks like he joined Kevin Braswells staff in Japan. Big loss to the NZ league.

the Manawatu Jets and Natu Taufale have wisely parted ways. A nice guy but the Jets have been dismal under his tenure

following Judd Flavells appointment as Tall Blacks head coach, the Rams have promoted assistant coach Quinn Clinton to the head coaching role for next season. Looking like at least 4 coaching changes for next season
Auckland: Young out, Gliddon in
Wellington: Coronel out, Young in
Jets: Taufale out, TBC in
Rams: Flavell out, Clinton in

Another coaching change, Sharks part ways with Guy Molloy

Jets appoint Tony Webster as their new coach, anyone know anything about the guy?

Used to watch him back in the day. More famous for his sons than his coaching. And that's not saying much!

Cheers Kolzee, would have expected the Jets to go for someone with a bit more known CV, especially after their nightmare last 3 seasons. We'll see

Yeah it would be nice for jets to pick up a good coach but I don't think they're lining up for that job. Pretty tough gig with a very low budget
word14
Last year
Yeah, on the plus side their home crowds have always rocked regardless of on-court performance. So at the moment coaching changes are looking like
Auckland: Young out, Giddon in
Wellington: Coronel out, Young in
Canterbury: Flavell out, Clinton in
Manawatu: Taufale out, Webster in
Southland: Molloy out, TBC in
Also a post by Franklin saying an announcement coming tomorrow, not sure if it's coaching or something else though

Nice looking rebrand for the Hawks, and another coaching change with the Nuggets parting ways with Brent Matehaere. Unsure on his replacement, but could Matehaere be headed to Southland?
