The Swede avoided replying back to the CFA when her contract was up earlier this month, saying that her aide was not in good health. But she said on Wednesday she wanted to spend “the most important days” with her husband and son.

Despite not having their coach’s contract settled yet, her players gave strong support to their “mother”.

"Domanski has taught us many new things, which has helped a lot. All of us love our coach. We treat her as our mother," said midfielder Bi Yan after the World Cup quarter-final elimination.

Striker Han Duan agreed: "She made us play as a team and encouraged us to keep upbeat for the future. We are very happy and we hope she will stay."

During the group stage, China beat Denmark 3-2 with late winning goal, lost 4-0 to Athens Olympic runner-up Brazil, and won 2-0 over underdogs New Zealand to be the runners-up of Group D.

"She made us feel we are becoming a strong team again. We all like her so much. I hope she will stay and take us to the Olympics," said Wang Kun, who was blamed for losing concentration in the goal box that resulted in the winning goal for Norway.

CFA officials were reported to do everything they can to keep the Swede in order to stabilize the team before next year’s Olympics. Previous frequent change of coaches left the team in disarray as five head coaches left the team in the past two years.
