Australia manager Holger Osieck apologises for making an alleged sexist comment during a press conference.

Australia manager Holger Osieck has apologised for making a comment which could have been construed as sexist during a press conference.

After joking with a reporter, Osieck told the waiting media in Latin that "women should shut up in public". He later added: "I say it to my wife at home, it is a private one, OK. And you record that one as well? I am going to be the darling of all Australian wives."

Following his controversial comments, Osieck issued an apology, saying: "To everyone who may feel offended by that, I offer a sincere apology."

Osieck addressed the media following his side's World Cup qualifying victory over Jordan.
