Signeul’s management style was criticized
Anna Signeul stated after Finland’s last EC match that she doesn’t know what the fate of head coach Pesti is.
– I won’t decide it, but I have a contract until the end of December. In any case, I have had the union’s full support until now.
According to Signeul, the commotion surrounding him somewhat disturbed his concentration on the EC tournament.
– It’s never nice when a lot of negative things are written. I don’t want to take a stand on those during the tournament. It wouldn’t be right for the players, the management or myself. We were here to play and we tried to focus on that, Signeul said after the tournament in Finland.
Sports expert Maiju Rootsalainen said at the beginning of the games that she had experienced inappropriate treatment as an assistant coach of the women’s A national team in connection with the fact that she became a mother.
– Our clear view is that no discrimination of any kind has been practiced in Pallloliito regarding this matter. The Football Association respects motherhood above all else, the chairman of the Football Association Ari Lahti your line at the time.
