New Zealand Football are on the lookout for a new chief executive after Grant McKavanagh announced his resignation from a position he has held for two years.
A release from NZF said McKavanagh had decided to take a short break from sports administration.
"I have really enjoyed and thrived in
this role and I am proud of my part in the continuing development of the Whole of Football programme, the renewed partnership and strategy development with the federations and the rise of women's football and futsal,'' he said in a statement. "Maintaining the organisation's financial surpluses and the international programmes and Olympic successes are other highlights.
"The last two years has seen New Zealand Football evolve quite dramatically with new structures and processes put in place and, going forward, I feel the next period of evolvement for NZ Football requires a different skill set than mine to deliver the next cycle of development.
"Having also finalised the venue and structure for the intercontinental playoff in November, the time is right for me now to step aside.''
