New Zealand Cricket has appointed former Warwickshire player, Englishman Andy Moles, as new national team coach.
He takes up the role from 1 December, preparing the squad for the first Test in Dunedin starting 10 days later.
NZC chief executive Justin Vaughan said: "Andy has an outstanding coaching background. He also brings leadership, passion, commitment and drive."
Current coach John Bracewell steps down at the end of the Australia tour and will coach Gloucestershire next summer.
Meanwhile, John Wright steps up from the selection panel to become a national selector, "working closely with Moles," said Vaughan.
Moles has had a varied career. Currently coach of New Zealand's Northern Knights, he has also coached England under-19, Scotland - who he got into the 2007 World Cup, Kenya, Hong Kong and South Africa's Free State.
He was an opening batsman for Warwickshire between 1986 and 1998.
