The man who helped build the All Whites' squad Peter Taylor is no longer with the team, as the New Zealand side prepares to take on Peru for their World Cup qualifier in Wellington.
1 NEWS understands that Taylor's exit came after apparent interference around the national coach role from NZ Football chief executive Andy Martin.
Martin refuted the claim this afternoon through a spokesperson, calling it nonsense.
Taylor was hired to help link UK based players with New Zealand's plans, that role is now gone.
