"Our ambitions are high, and they should be. When we do not reach the final, we need to stop, analyze and take any necessary measures. The result is a factor in that decision, but it is above all about creating the right conditions for the next World Cup cycle," says Secretary General Christer Abrahamsson in a statement.
After Sweden lost the semi-final against Switzerland 6–3 and then the bronze medal match against Finland, Linn Lundström faced strong criticism.
It's part of the rules of the game. On paper, I'm the main person responsible, so a lot of shit should fall on me. It's entirely reasonable if the association goes a different way, she told Expressen after the World Cup exit.
Lundström had a contract that extended until 2028. Who will replace the coaching duo is still unclear.
Sweden had nine straight World Cup gold medals before the championship in the Czech Republic.
