Elena Sadiku puts Celtic 'on the map' as Hoops women boss reacts to major FIFA recognition

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Elena Sadiku has insisted that her individual recognition is down to her Celtic players and staff.The Hoops boss has been named on FIFA’s ‘The Best’ shortlist among some prestigious names.

While flattered, Sadiku has maintained that her success is down to the hard work of those round about her. “I am honoured and I am happy,” said the Swede. “Beside my name we have the name of Celtic FC so it is not just great recognition for me, it is also for the club, for the players, for the staff.“I would not be there without them.

I am very proud to be recognised but it is not something I spend a lot of time thinking about. But it is always nice to be able to put Celtic on the map.

A lot of people in Sweden are very pleased for me. They know what my journey has been. They have watched how hard I have worked to get to where I am so there are a lot of people who were very pleased for me.”Sustaining her place among some of the best respected coaches in the game will require a continuation of what she has been doing at Celtic.
