RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Adding U.S. mental strength and Swedish organisation to Brazilian talent and flair is a promising recipe for future success, the new coach of the Brazil women’s team said on Tuesday.

Pia Sundhage, who has coached both the U.S. and her native Sweden, became the first foreigner to manage a Brazil national side when she signed a two-year contract earlier this week.
