Tony Gustavsson takes over as the national team captain for Sweden’s football ladies after the European Championships.
He last led Australia – a time that ended in disappointment and with criticism.
During the Summer Olympics in Paris this summer, Australia was already eliminated in the group play, and Tony Gustavsson Got to leave his assignment after four years.
– In this Olympics we went out on goal difference. It is usually said that there are small margins in sports, I usually say that there are small margins with major consequences, says Gustavsson at a press conference.
Criticism against Gustavsson
The Daily Mail reported after Australia’s departure that the players have known a resistance to Gustavsson since the World Cup 2023 and they must have described his time as “four years of misery”. A player must have described the Swedish victory as an disorganized chaos.
– I would probably have taken it personally if it came to me directly from the person in question, says Gustavsson about the criticism he received.

Australia finished four in the football World Cup 2023 at home after loss in the bronze match against Sweden.
– I’m glad I have such long experience. During the World Cup at home there were tributes and I already said that it can turn quickly. We coaches are never better than our last match, says Gustavsson, who continues:
– If you have turned to it, that my last assignment was the World Cup, with tributes after going to the semi -finals for the first time, we would have been talking about the positive, but the last thing was that you went out in a group game in the Olympics.
