Soccer: Waitakere United coach quits

After guiding Waitakere United to second place in the inaugural New Zealand Football Championship, coach Chris Milicich has quit.

Citing business and family commitments as the reason behind his decision, Milicich said he left with real regret.

He announced his decision at the club's awards evening, where veteran midfielder Chris Jackson was named player of the year, Simon Eaddy as players' player and Jeremy Christie as the supporters' choice.

A replacement coach should be named shortly.
