All Whites Head Coach on FIFA World Cup 2026, Auckland FC & Chris Wood "Putting Football on the Map"
Darren Bazeley is the coach of the All Whites and has been one of the key figures in New Zealand Football across the last 15 years.
In this episode we hear the best stories from his 400+ games of professional football in England, what he learned from Graham Taylor and Anthony Hudson, what went wrong with the NZ Knights and what’s going right with Auckland FC, and we put some context around Chris Wood’s incredible season in England.
In the second half we talk about the All Whites, who are on the cusp of qualifying for their first World Cup in 16 years, the current state of football in New Zealand and what the All Whites coach really does.
As the OG Between Two Beers listeners will know, we started as a football podcast, and it was great to go back to our roots in this one and chat through Darren’s remarkable path to the top of NZ Football.
