Munster, 35, is Swedish and part-Irish.

The VFF announced the arrival of the new coach in Port Vila on their Facebook page

Munster comes from Minerva Punjab in India where he was Technical Director of the I-League side, before signing up as Head Coach there.

He took charge of Minerva Punjab for 16 games during the 2018-19 season, winning only three, before reverting back to his role of Technical Director.

Vanuatu Football Federation president replaces Chung

The Vanuatu Football Federation President will replace David Chung as head of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) after his resignation in April following allegations of corruption.

Former Ghana Football Association President, Kwesi Nyantakyi, also resigned from all FIFA and Confederation of African Football (CAF) posts yesterday (June 11).

That includes his position on FIFA's ruling Council.

Chung relinquished his position two months ago shortly before the body revealed they had appointed an external lawyer to carry out the investigation.
