STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - With the majority of the 24 teams at the Women's World Cup coached by men, the game needs to embrace the wealth of experience that female soccer coaches have to offer, former United States and Sweden coach Pia Sundhage told Reuters.

Only nine teams at next month's World Cup in France will have female coaches and Sundhage said this is limiting the development of the women's game and opportunities for women in general.

"But if we choose what we have always chosen, which is very often men, then you see past that woman. And what happens then is you miss out on a lot of knowledge and competence." Sundhage is hoping 2019 will be the year women's football finally breaks into the mainstream, but she remains slightly sceptical.

"I think everyone would say that we should have the best person available in every position, and who is the best person available? I believe in differences and that means that some countries and clubs will have men and some will have women," she said.
