The news that Andrea Möllerberg has been fired as the highest official in the association has hardly gone unnoticed within football.
When Seger, whose national team career spanned over 240 international matches, arrived at the Sports Gala, she commented on the day's news.
It's incredibly sad. There has been so much around the football association and not much positive lately. It's not fun with a decision like this because there's a person behind it, but I believe and hope that the football association will resolve this going forward so that there's order and calm.
It's needed. There has been a lot of chaos, says Seger.
When asked about a suitable future general secretary, she says:
I haven't even thought about it. I can't say Marika (Domanski-Lyfors) because she already has a role (sports director), but she would have been suitable.
I would also choose Lotta Schelin. Marika would have been good for the job. I don't know if she would have even wanted it, but she would have done great things.
"Should never go badly"
What did you think and feel when you saw all the headlines about poor working conditions?
Sad. Then there are always two sides of the coin. There have been far too many stories that have come out that make you really wonder what's going on behind the scenes. People should never have a bad time at their workplace, says Seger to TT.
Lars Lagerbäck, the long-time former national team coach for the men's team, says that he doesn't have enough insight to have an opinion about the situation. However, he believes that something had to happen considering the reporting on the working environment at the association.
"Something has to happen"
Something has to happen when the atmosphere has become so bad and people quit, and others are forced to quit. You lose a lot of experience. Something has to happen, I think. If this was the best solution, I don't have enough insight into, says Lagerbäck to TT.
What do you say about the reports, for example, about the poor working environment?
If that image is true, it's very sad. It's not good. Then it's clear that there have to be consequences somehow. You can't continue like that, then it's going straight downhill. From what I don't know everything, I hope it was a good decision they made, says Lars Lagerbäck.
