Pia Sundhage udnævnt ny træner for Haitis kvindelandshold

Pia Sundhage, 66 år, er udnævnt til cheftræner for Haitis kvindelandshold i fodbold efter at kontrakten med Schweiz ikke blev fornyet ved årsskiftet.

Ved årsskiftet fik Pia Sundhage besked om, at hendes kontrakt som cheftræner for Schweiz' kvindelandshold i fodbold ikke ville blive fornyet. Den 66-årige svenske tager nu over Haitis kvindelandshold, som rapporteret af SVT Sport. Sundhage udtrykker begejstring for den nye rolle. «Endnu en fantastisk udfordring i kvindefodboldens verden. Og chancen for at lære nye ting hele tiden,» siger hun til tv-kanalen. Hun har tidligere trænet landsholdene fra Sverige, USA, Brasilien og Schweiz. Kontrakten med Haiti løber til udgangen af året, men kan forlænges, hvis holdet kvalificerer sig til VM i Brasilien næste sommer. Den næste kvalifikationskamp er 3. marts mod Surinam. Sundhage fremhæver holdets potentiale: «Det højeste niveau blandt individuelle spillere er utrolig interessant. Men det er en holdidret. Og nu vil vi bygge noget sammen.» Lilie Persson bliver assistenttræner i det nye setup. Sundhages internationale erfaring inden for kvindefodbold forventes at hjælpe med at udvikle Haitis hold?
