Pia Sundhage : Coach U.S. Women's Soccer Team

Pia, 47, considered to be world's top player during her 22 year career, is the first foreigner to hold the position. She had 71 goals in 146 international games for Sweden. Pia replaces Greg Ryan who was released after World Cup, when United States finished third. USSF has granted her only one year contract, which implies her continuation will be based solely on 2008 Olympics results. One of her focus area will be to improve upon team's offensive style. Pia was named WUSA Coach of the Year in 2003 with Boston Breakers.
