July 20 – Norway women’s coach Martin Sjogren and his assistant Anders Jacobson have resigned from their roles after the two-time champions were knocked out of the Euros at the group stage for the second time in a row.
Norway lost their last two games – which included an 8-0 thrashing at the hands of hosts England – to finish third in Group A.
Sjogren (pictured) had been in charge for more than five years but an agreement was in place to evaluate progress after the Euros
“The expectations before this championship were clear and we had high ambitions to go far,” Sjogren said in a statement.
“When the results did not match the expectations, the natural solution is that we now go our separate ways.”
