    The Wellington Phoenix men's coach wants to rally not only his troops but also the fans, ahead of tomorrow's final New Zealand derby against Auckland FC

    The Wellington Phoenix men's coach wants to rally not only his troops but also the fans, ahead of tomorrow's final New Zealand derby against Auckland FC


    Giancarlo Italiano admits his side haven't set the A-League alight, with his Phoenix sitting 10th in the 12-team competition ... while Auckland are second.

    Italiano says they're due a long-awaited win in the so-far one-sided fixture ... and the fans deserve it.



    The Phoenix have lost all five of the local derbies, since Auckland FC joined the A-League.
