Herdman has been working in New Zealand since 2003 and has led the senior women’s team there since 2007. New Zealand has qualified for the last two major events under Herdman.
A source close to the CSA said that the federation underwent an “exhaustive” search to replace Carolina Morace and was never prepared to hire an under qualified domestic coach to save money. Herdman’s salary was not disclosed, but it’s expected to be close to what Morace received.
In New Zealand Herdman also acted as a technical director and he’s expected to undertake the same role here in Canada.
The announcement is set to becomes official tomorrow at 1 p.m. EDT.
