Brazil has hired former U.S. women's national team head coach Pia Sundhage as its new women's national team coach, replacing Vadão, who was let go following the 2019 Women's World Cup. Sundhage has been hired with an eye on leading Brazil at the Olympics–something she's won twice with the USA.
Sundhage coached the U.S. from 2008–2012, which included a second-place finish at the 2011 Women's World Cup in addition to her two Olympic gold medals. She ended with a 91-10-6 record before stepped down to take over her native Sweden in 2012. She coached that team until 2017 before taking over the Swedish Under-17 team in 2018.
