Australia coach says sorry after sexist comment

By Reuters in Singapore | China Daily | Updated: 2013-06-13 07:37

Australia coach Holger Osieck apologized on Wednesday after saying "women should shut up in public" following the Socceroos' World Cup qualifying victory over Jordan in Melbourne.

Osieck made the comment prior to starting his post-match news conference after the 4-0 win on Tuesday, with the German adding "I'm going to be the darling of all Australian wives" after discovering the cameras were already rolling.

On Wednesday, aware of the furor his remarks had caused, Osieck apologized before departing for Sydney where Australia plays its final qualifier at home to Iraq on Tuesday.
