New Zealand football Federation Chief executive Michael Glading has quit his post. Glading leaves NZF in March next year and in 30 months at the helm, he has helped set new standards on the field while righting the ship financially.

The former record company chief executive said today he will now look for a fresh challenge.

"I have decided that the time is right for me to look for something new.

"The board has asked me to continue working through until March 2011, and I am delighted to help," Glading said.
