Herbert quits as coach of Wellington in A-League

Herbert has been Phoenix coach since their formation six years ago, guiding them in more than 150 A-League games.

But the club is currently in last place in the 10-team league after winning only five of 23 matches this season. Herbert's assistant, Chris Greenacre of England, will take over as head coach for the remainder of the season.

Since the Phoenix was formed in 2007, Herbert has juggled roles guiding New Zealand to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where it left unbeaten in pool play, and the weekly demands of the A-League.

Herbert said Tuesday he will remain as New Zealand coach and will now concentrate on its next qualifying matches in March for the 2014 World Cup. New Zealand currently leads the Oceania Confederation qualifying tournament.
