HE ONCE said he was 7-1 for every managerial vacancy in the country, but according to rumours, Steve Coppell can now extend that to the world.
Reports from New Zealand suggest that former Palace boss Coppell, 57, is now among the favourite to take over at Wellington Phoenix.
The club, which is situated in the capital of New Zealand, competes in Australia's A-League.
It is thought that senior officials from the Kiwi club visited England in April to conduct interviews for the role, with Coppell and former West Ham United boss Glenn Roeder reportedly both making the shortlist. Coppell is currently director of football at League One side Crawley Town.
