Big change is in store for Sam Kerr as Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson's future with the team is settled

Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson is set to remain with the side through Australia's Paris Olympics campaign after Sam Kerr's Chelsea boss Emma Hayes was formally named the new head coach of the US women's national team.

Gustavsson, a former USWNT assistant in their 2015 and 2019 Women's World Cup triumphs under Jill Ellis, was among those heavily linked to the US job after guiding Australia to the semi-finals of this year's tournament.

The Swede, contracted with Football Australia until after Paris, has been cagey when pressed on his future.
