Will be a fairly different team next season you would imagine. Davor 100% stays, the next step is breaking into the top 4. No reason we can't with the way things are going and I've heard some promising rumours around Harris, Turner and Hickey showing up next year
Tasman United
Really need to look at signing a quality centre-back. Kaltack was okay but it was a huge blow to lose him to the O-League midseason, especially as he was late arriving in the first place.
Rumour of a coaching change? Can somebody enlighten me? I've heard nothing that I could trust.....
Is Ifill sticking around for next year or will he pull the plug?
Ifill has said he's not playing for Tasman next year, had enough of travelling
might not be change of coach, could just be the end of season review, most ISPS coaches are on season only contracts
I don't see any reason that Favorited should leave. He's done a good job so far.
Davor*. Bloody autocorrect
Should be an interesting couple of weeks for Tasman I hear !!

Why?
Changes are afoot
This was the latest update following their final game
Although it is understood the job is his if he wants it next season, Tavich is now off contract and said he will meet with Tasman board's in the coming weeks before committing to another campaign.
"I'm going home [to Croatia] in September for a few weeks and I have to sit down with Tasman's board and see what's the best way to go for me and for them next season. At this stage I haven't committed to anything yet."

Tasman United are about to announce a new operations manager, which has been advertised and possibly even been decided by now. Also Nelson Bays Football have a new GM in Nic Foster, who created and managed the Nelson Art Expo.

I can't imagine Ifill wanting to coach if the travel is his main reason for "retiring". Coaching would only be a bigger commitment.
Expect changes!!

Davor steps down as coach to return to Croatia for family reasons. Tasman on the hunt for a new gaffer!

heard from a bloke called Alex Moore that they already have one
Wild speculation, but I wonder if Tasman will try go for Calcott? There are links between him and people involved at Tasman..

Isn't Matt Campbell involved there now? I know Maksym Kowal has signed for North Wellington.

No other local options?
There's probably a pool of Steve Bignall, Ben Wright, Paul Brydon and John Slotemaker who would be local contenders. I think they will get a lot of interest though.
I think Biggsy would be up to it, not sure how Ben would do but he may be in the squad again next year anyway. Probably wouldn't want Brydon.
Wouldn't go near Slottsy with a 10 foot pole though, would definitely break any "no dickheads" rule we have.
I think there are a few irons in the fire
I am going to say it....I know this young guy Richard Anderson....
MacGyver !

Thought Slottsy had decided to give up coaching all together after his last stint at Suburbs?
Think if Ben Wright was involved it'd be as an assistant - especially if he is in the squad as a player
Biggsy would be ok, but still think you'd be looking to Johnsonville for who the next coach will be
anyway Tasman advertised for a new head coach via FB today

I'm personally expecting someone from outside the region.
Some of the local options mentioned would be ridiculous

Biggsy? cause of the local options mentioned he's the only one that people (OK me and Nelfoos) have said would be OK (which is different from saying he should get it)

Mark Johnston in with a shout??
Possibly as youth coach
Andy Hedge announced as Tasman United Head Coach for 2018/19 season
Superb coach
That’s a great appotment
Is this his first senior coaching role?

he had the Weenix in the Premiership until this season and also had Wellington United in Cap Prem \ Central League for 3 seasons

Weenix are a pretty exclusive/privileged group - mostly schoolboys and the odd Nix pro player. So, this is his first time coaching a senior team then - players with full time jobs, rent/mortgage to pay, partners etc. It will present him with different challenges. Big call from TU board, hope he does well.
