PARIS (Reuters) - Australia women's football head coach Tony Gustavsson four-year contract ended by mutual agreement following the team's group stage exit at the Olympics, the Australian FA said on Thursday.

Australia were aiming for their first Olympic podium after reaching the semi-finals at the Tokyo Games and last year's World Cup on home soil.
