The Canadian Soccer Association and Carolina Morace have reached a compromise solution that will see the popular coach stay with the team at least until the end of the London Olympics.
Details of what, if any, changes were made to Morace's contract or level of control of the team were not released.
Earlier this year Morace told the CSA that she would be leaving after the end of this month's World Cup. Today's news appears to suggest that the two sides have found a mutually agreeable solution that will allow them another year to continue talks.
It's likely a fair solution for both parties. Since the Olympics are almost as important as the World Cup to the women, it provides the player's with some stability as they prepare to finish the current quadrennial cycle. The one year extension also gives the CSA some leverage if Morace fails to live up to the expectations that she has set for herself and the team.
