Even Pellerud may not keep much sports memorabilia on the walls at his home in Vancouver, but there is a spot for one item that has eluded him so far in his coaching career: an Olympic gold medal.
Pellerud has won just about everything imaginable in his women’s coaching career with Norway and Canada. The 2008 run to the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament in Beijing, however, will be his last with Canada. Pellerud announced today he will retire from the Canadian program at the conclusion of this season in December.
Even Pellerud ne garde peut-être pas beaucoup de souvenirs sportifs de sa longue carrière sur les murs de sa maison à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique, mais il lui reste tout de même de la place pour une chose qui lui a échappé jusqu’à présent dans sa carrière d’entraîneur : une médaille d’or des jeux Olympiques.
Pellerud a remporté presque tout ce que l’on pourrait imaginer au cours de sa carrière d’entraîneur de soccer féminin en Norvège et au Canada. Quoi qu’il en soit, la tentative de remporter le Tournoi Olympique de Football Féminin, qui aura lieu à Beijing cet été, sera sa dernière direction de l’équipe nationale canadienne féminine senior. Pellerud a annoncé aujourd’hui qu’il prendra sa retraite du programme canadien féminin à la fin de la saison en décembre.
