PROD rationale was Fails WP:BASIC; has been tagged for notability for over 2 years. A WP:BEFORE search revealed routine news of him being appointed as coach for the two teams that he coached but no significant coverage.

Contested with reasoning this is a borderline case and needs more scrutiny than a PROD can provide. Take it to AfD if you want.

Here are the sources that I found and my reasons for why they don't help with GNG:

[1] - a routine announcement of him getting the Mariners job
[2] - as above
[3] - a routine announcement from the Wanderers' own website about him getting the job
[4] - a routine W-League announcement of his appointment
[5] - mentioned very briefly, not enough for biographical notability
[6] - trivial mention
[7] - just a Q&A in a local paper
