The Wellington Phoenix are certain they'll unearth a top-notch replacement for axed women's coach Paul Temple

The 9th-placed Nix head into their final match of the season on Sunday unable to make the Top 6 play-offs, a failure that has cost Temple dearly after just two years in the role.

Phoenix director of football Shaun Gill says the club invests heavily in their women's team...and he believes they'll find a high-quality replacement.
