Vilda went as far on Friday as to publicly call for any player to denounce his behavior if they felt fit.

“Due to the lack of clarity by the players in their public appearances and statements, there has been speculation that there is something going on beyond just the sport,” Vilda said. “I want to make a public appeal today that if any of my present or former players have received anything but exquisite treatment from me to say so.”

Vilda also said he has not contemplated stepping down despite having clearly lost the confidence of most of his first-choice players. The Women’s World Cup is in July in Australia and New Zealand.
