(...) Coach Herdman will take the reins of the 8th ranked Canadian team that is gearing up for the 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying tournament to be held in Vancouver, January 19-29. The team has its sights set on a second straight Women's Olympic Football Tournament having competed in Beijing in 2008. As part of his role, Herdman will also contribute to the Canadian Soccer Association's development of a long term vision for women's soccer in Canada. "This is a wonderful opportunity to work in a fantastic country and with a team that has the genuine potential to be the best in the world," stated Herdman.
"The focus is multi-layered – with the Olympics sitting just around the corner, my job is to help the team achieve their podium goals, while keeping one eye on the long-term preparation for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2015 and achieving sustained success beyond this event.
"On the opportunity to lead the host country for a FIFA Women's World Cup, Herdman commented that "being a key player in helping the team prepare for a home FIFA World Cup is a huge responsibility. The FIFA Women's World Cup 2015 in Canada has the potential to be the tipping point for the explosion of the women's game in Canada. The Canadian Soccer Association has provided this opportunity by securing the competition and it will now be the job of the players and the support team to ensure we are ready to deliver on this exciting stage".
Born in England, Herdman arrived in New Zealand in 2002 when he began to work with elite women players. This experience brought him to New Zealand Football in 2006 as their Coach Education Manager. That role was followed by his position as the Director of Football Development which he continued to hold when he assumed his role as Head Coach for the senior women's national team in late 2006. Herdman also led the Junior Football Ferns to two FIFA U-20 Women's World Cups (2008 and 2006) and during this period he was responsible for both the U-20 and senior women's national teams.
