Tony Gustavsson has defended his lack of squad rotation during the World Cup and hinted his future as Matildas boss could hinge on how much investment Football Australia ploughs into women’s football.
Gustavsson claimed that catchcry was never intended to mean that every member of his squad would be used at the World Cup, and argued that keeping his line-ups consistent might have actually been the key behind their historic run to the semi-finals - even if, by that stage, his main players were barely standing.
“First of all, we know how this business works. The loss today is probably an influence on people’s opinion about me as a coach,” he said.“From a broader perspective, if we look a couple of weeks ahead when we do a review, like we always do ... that review, I think we’re going to learn a lot about me as a coach, about the team, about preparation, about investment.
