New Zealand Football boss Andrew Pragnell has thrown his support behind coach Jitka Klimkova to turn around the fortunes of her underperforming team with less than five months before the Women's World Cup begins.

"I have absolute confidence in Jitka , but equally we've got to make sure that if there is any fine-tuning that can be done, we do it now," Pragnell said on Friday.
