Gareth Nevin Turnbull (born 16 February 1983) is a New Zealand football coach who was previously the interim co coach of the New Zealand Football women's National team.[1][2][3] as well as the Future Ferns Domestic Programme Academy Manager [4]. Turnbull has held a role with various NZ Football teams and currently holds the NZF/OFC A Licence. Turnbull is currently the Melbourne Victory FC (W-League) assistant coach [5]
Playing career[edit]
Turnbull played in the NZ National League for Canterbury United from 2006-2009, winning the teams golden boot award in 2008/09 season.
Turnbull played multiple seasons in the Mainland Premier League for both Western and Coastal Sprit, winning the golden boot and striker of the year on two separate occasions. He also played in the US college system for Catawba college for two years from 2004-2006[6][7]
Coaching Career[edit]
Turnbull began his coaching journey whilst completing his playing career. Initially working with Mainland Footballs youth teams it was once he began working as a Football Development Manager for Coastal Sprit Football Club he took over as the premier women's head coach. He went on to lead that side to multiple regional and national titles before landing the Canterbury United Pride head coaching role. Turnbull and his staff lead the Pride to win their inaugural National Women's League title in 2013 and then defended it in 2014[8]. Turnbull also coached the NZ Secondary Schools team[9] from 2013-2015.
Turnbull was announced as head coach of the New Zealand under 17 women's national team[10] in preparation for the 2015 OFC U16 championship. The side went on to win the tournament and qualify comfortably for the 2016 FIFA U17 women's World Cup in Jordan. Despite not progressing out of the group at the World Cup, New Zealand recorded a 5-0 victory over hosts Jordan[11], which is the greatest ever victory margin by any NZ Football National team (mens or women's) at any age at a FIFA event.
In 2017 Turnbull was appointed the Manager of the Football Ferns Development Programme as well as the New Zealand under 20 women's national team in preparation for the 2017 OFC U19 championship.
The FFDP as it is referred to is a centralised academy environment for the best domestic females players in NZ. Operated in line with any professional academy, Turnbull overseas all areas of the programme as well as acting as the head coach. The programme is viewed by many as a success as it has helped eight players graduate into full-time professional football contracts[12][13] in Europe, as well as supported the performances of the New Zealand Football U17, U20 and Football Ferns teams. Six of the starting XI from the NZ U17 women's national team in 2018, who finished an incredible third at the 2018 FIFA U17 Women's World Cup in Uruguay,[14] were involved in the FFDP in 2018.
The NZF U20 went on to win the OFC qualification tournament and qualify[15] comfortably for the 2018 FIFA U20 women's World Cup in France[16]. Despite not progressing out of the group at the World Cup with losses to Holland[17] and Ghana[18], New Zealand recorded a 0-0 draw[19] hosts & tournament favourites France, which is regarded as a significant result at this level.
In November 2017, after the resignation of then Football Ferns coach Tony Readings, Turnbull was appointed Interim Co Coach of the Football Ferns[20] [21] for their upcoming tour of Thailand. The Ferns achieved a 0-0 draw in the first game of the tour followed by a 5-0 victory[22] in the second. This result is the largest victory recorded by the Football Ferns outside of Oceania opposition. After the successful tour, Turnbull was appointed as the full-time assistant coach[23][24] of the Football Ferns, in addition to his existing FFDP and U20 roles. Turnbull, who also attended the 2016 Summer Olympic Games as a development coach with the Football Ferns would complete tours in February 2018 [25] against Scotland and in July against Japan, before resigning from the assistant coach role to focus on his duties with the FFDP and U20s.
In November 2019 Turnbull took up the position of Assistant Coach[26] at Melbourne Victory FC (W-League) for the 2019–20 W-League. Melbourne Victory FC took part in the inaugural 2019 AFC Women's Club Championship where Turnbull was hosted by the Australian embassy commemorating the event [27]
