Matildas Part Ways With Coach Tony Gustavsson After Dismal Olympic Performance

Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson’s contract will not be extended following Tilly’s disappointing performance in Paris.

Football Australia confirmed Gustavsson’s four-year tenure will come to a close in a statement today.

The announcement comes after the Matilda’s failed to advance past the knockout stages of the Olympic Games, their worst performance in 24 years.

Gustavsson thanked the players and staff in the statement:

“It has been a great honour and privilege to have been able to be the head coach of the Matildas over the past four years. This journey with the team has had many incredible moments and memories that I will forever treasure.”

FA CEO James Johnson thanked Gustavsson and said he had been an “integral part” of the Matilda’s journey in recent years.
