Coaches
In the first season Otago United was coached by former Fulham Assistant Johan Koustall. The second season saw the arrival of former Irish International Terry Phelan to be the clubs player/coach. This lasted for four seasons until the end of the 2008-09 season where due to poor results he was replaced by his assistant Malcolm Fleming. Fleming coached for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, but in August 2011 stepped down citing lack of funds to bring in players from outside the region, concerns that playing young local players could be detrimental, and the need for changes on the Otago United board. In September 2011 it was announced that Caversham AFC coach, Richard Murray would take the reins for the 2011-12 season. Richard Murray and assistant Andy Duncan were reappointed for the 2012/13 season.
