KEY POINTS:
Central United youth soccer coach Paul Posa has stepped in as Auckland City coach in time for their Oceania Champions League trip to Port Vila on Saturday.
Auckland were left without a coach after Colin Tuaa quit on Sunday following their 3-1 victory over Hawke's Bay United that took them to the top of the New Zealand Football Championship.
Posa has been appointed in a caretaker role until the New Year.
"I'll be taking the team through Christmas while the club assesses things, but I'm prepared be here until the end of the season if that's what the club decides," said Posa, and Auckland City board member and one-time national league coach of Central United.
Auckland City will draw level with Waitakere United at the top of group A in the O-League with a win over Port Vila Sharks.
