Football: The Matildas leadership group have met with Football Australia to help the search for a new coach.
Matildas leaders helping coach search | 01:13Sam Kerr and the rest of the Matildas leadership group have held meetings with Football Australia about the search for a new coach as they prepare to take on Switzerland and Germany in a pair of friendlies over the next week.
“I think there have been conversations with the leadership group. There’s been a few,” forward Caitlin Foord said prior to the sides first training session in Zurich.Foord isn’t part of the leadership group, but was asked what she’d tell FA about the qualities a new coach should have, if questioned. Whether a new coach will be installed in time for those games against Brazil and Chinese Taipei from November 28 to December 7 on home soil remains unclear, but Football Australia’s focus is on having Tony Gustavsson’s successor in place for a crucial lead-up phase to the Asian Cup on home soil in 2026.“When the time is right, it will happen.”Expectation around the side come the Asian Cup will almost be as high as when the World Cup kicked off.
Gustavsson left his post as coach of the Matildas the day after a 2-1 defeat to the US ended their Paris Olympic campaign in the group stage.
