The national team defender tells Expressen that they have agreed on a plan where she plays football 80 percent and is on parental leave 20 percent.
“It is a big and important step and I want to take the lead together with LFC to find new ways. I think it is absolutely fantastic to have the opportunity to take the next step together with my club and be able to combine life’s different roles “, says Nilla Fischer in a press release.
She continues:
“I feel very inspired to play another year with LFC – but also to live everyday life with my two sons who completely ignore my football qualifications, they want me as a safe mother in their lives – even if they have to put up with one or two football matches on TV ”.
Linköping has had a tough season in damallsvenskan and parks in seventh place in the table. Club director Frida Andersson believes that the extension with the center-back general is necessary for the team to be able to lift next season.
“Before the next season, we want to get higher up in the table and continue a marked journey as one of Sweden’s most successful clubs. Then a player like Nilla Fischer is an important part of the whole. Nilla has previously said that she wants to be on parental leave and we are happy to have found a good solution. It is important to be open to finding new paths and constantly have a dialogue with each other to create opportunities. It is part of my mission, together with the board, leaders and others in the association, to develop the club and those who work in and around it “, she says.
