Gothenburg has started the season heavily in the SDHL and has only scored one point in the nine opening matches.

Goal difference of 10-48 is also not very flattering.

The situation is dire and on Tuesday the club confirmed that the team's coach, Stefanie McKeough, is leaving the club with immediate effect to go home to the family in Canada.

- It's about several different things.

It's an uncertainty.

She wants to go home to the family and meet it.

That is the overall life situation for her.

That is the uncertainty of visas.

She is waiting for a visa decision - and it takes six to seven months to be notified.

She feels damn bad to put it bluntly, says chairman Jan Mellgren to GP.

Mellgren believes that this has been done by consensus and that McKeough is welcome back at any time.

Despite the table position, Mellgren believes that the club's confidence in McKeough is "undisturbed".

"Out of my control"

McKeough himself is depressed but also says that it was a decision that was allowed to be made.

- I do not really have much to add.

Sorry about that.

There are many things beyond my control - and the decision was not easy.

I want the girls and women in this team to be in focus and do not need anything to be about me, she says to GP.

Gothenburg, chaired by Jan Mellgren, has now begun work on finding a replacement for Stefanie McKeough.

SVT Sport has sought Jan Mellgren and Stefanie McKeough.
