Pia Sundhage utnevnt ny trener for Haitis kvinnelandslag

Pia Sundhage, 66 år gammel, er utnevnt til hovedtrener for Haitis kvinnelige fotballandslag etter at kontrakten med Sveits ikke ble fornyet ved utgangen av i fjor. Hun ser på det som en ny spennende utfordring og tar med erfaring fra flere landslag. Kontrakten løper ut året med mulig forlengelse.

Ved utgangen av i fjor fikk Pia Sundhage beskjed om at kontrakten hennes som hovedtrener for Sveits’ kvinnelige fotballandslag ikke ville bli fornyet. Den 66 år gamle svensken tar nå over Haitis kvinnelag, melder SVT Sport og lover en spennende reise med et team fullt av potensial og vilje til å lære nytt. Hun har tidligere trent landslagene til Sverige, USA, Brasil og Sveits. Kontrakten med Haiti løper til utgangen av året, men kan forlenges dersom laget kvalifiserer seg til VM i Brasil neste sommer. Neste kvalifiseringskamp er 3. mars mot Surinam. Sundhage fremhever lagets potensial: «Det beste nivået på individuelle spillere er utrolig interessant. Men det er en lagidrett. Og nå vil vi bygge noe sammen.»
