After months of indecision, Ramon Tribulietx has re-committed to Auckland City for another year.
The Spanish coach's future at the ASB Premiership champions was in doubt after approaches from the Brisbane Roar and at least two other overseas clubs.
Auckland City chairman Ivan Vuksich says Tribulietx was seriously considering a move to Hong Kong.
"He was in two minds and he took a long time to examine it, but at the end of the day he wants to go back to the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan."
Tribulietx has signed a one-year deal.
