Otago United has appointed Terry Phelan as player-coach for the next
New Zealand Football Championship season which starts in October.
Former Irish international midfielder Phelan is possibly the highest profile player appointed by any New Zealand soccer club. He has played over 500 matches in the Football League with clubs such as Leeds United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Everton and won an FA Cup medal
with Wimbledon in 1988 ( beating Liverpool 1-nil )
The Irishman represented his country at U21 and U23 levels before earning 42 senior caps for his country. These included matches in two World Cup Finals, and several European Championship games.
Phelan (38) signed a contract with Otago yesterday, and will arrive in Dunedin on 22nd September. The Otago squad has already started training under assistant coach Malcolm Fleming and
fitness specialist Neil Davis.
The new coach is married to Julie, and has three children, Connor, Robin and Ashley
