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. Hun ser det som en ny spændende udfordring og medbringer erfaring fra flere landshold. Kontrakten løber til udgangen af året med mulighed for forlængelse.

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?
