The coach who revived Wellington Phoenix will sensationally leave the club after just one season but his destination remains unclear. GETTY IMAGES Mark Rudan has been able to get the best out of unheralded Kiwis such as Alex Rufer. A source said Rudan made his decision three weeks ago and has even provided his own recommendations for his potential successor. But some things are more important than football, and for Rudan his family situation was a deal-breaker. It is imperative the club pulls out all stops to keep them for next season to help lessen the blow of Rudan's departure.
