Wellington Phoenix chairman Rob Morrison gave a quick lecture in recruitment this afternoon after a journalist asked a "stupid question" about the hiring of new coach Mark Rudan.

The press conference with Rudan was about to wrap up in Wellington today when Morrison cut in to address a question made earlier in the session about the new head coach appointment despite Morrison not knowing who Rudan was.

"I'll just cut in because I thought it was such a stupid question about the fact that I had never heard of Mark.

"I can tell you in 30 years in terms of employing people, that I've employed hundreds of people that I have never heard of before two years ago – it's a completely irrelevant point to make."

Rudan was announced as the new head coach for the Wellington Phoenix today on a two-year deal.
