FIFA Women's World Cup 2019: Football needs to embrace wealth of experience female coaches can offer, says Pia Sundhage

Firstpost  

Only nine teams at next month’s World Cup in France will have female coaches and Sundhage said this is limiting the development of the women’s game and opportunities for women in general. Stockholm: With the majority of the 24 teams at the Women’s World Cup coached by men, the game needs to embrace the wealth of experience that female soccer coaches have to offer, former United States and Sweden coach Pia Sundhage told Reuters. “If you’ve been on the men’s side as a coach and you haven’t seen a women’s game, you can be offered a job at a club team here in Sweden, for instance - the same thing doesn’t happen the other way round,” she said. “I don’t think we have any women who have had responsibility for a men’s elite team, to my knowledge,” she said.
