Auckland City players demand coach resignation after poor FIFA Club World Cup showing

According to TyC Sports, Auckland City squad is demanding Paul Posa to leave his position as head coach — following the team’s poor performance at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

The New Zealand team recorded disappointing results in the tournament held in the United States — finishing at the bottom of Group C without securing a single victory.

The Navy Blues’ journey in the competition was marked by a series of heavy defeats:

• Crushed by Bayern Munich with a score of 0-10
• Suffered a 0-6 loss to Benfica
• Drew 1-1 against Boca Juniors

After this poor showing in the prestigious tournament, all Auckland City players are firmly urging Paul Posa to immediately step down from his position as team coach.
