Randy Waldrum
Former Super Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum will continue as the national team coach after signing a renewed contract npflupdates.com reports.
Waldrum was with the national team at the 2023 FIFA women’s world cup tournament held in Australia and New Zealand. At the world cup, the Nigerian ladies achieved great feat, after they qualified for the knockout stages without losing any group game fixture.
Recall, prior to the world cup, the Pittsburgh women’s coach, had a bad PR with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), where he accused it of misappropriation of funds, lack of morale-boosting moves.
And the NFF in what seemed like a response through its Director of Communication Ademola Olajire, identified the gaffer as a blabbermouth, and worst Super Falcons coach who’s only motive was being at a FIFA world cup.
The American gaffer since after the world cup hasn’t been in charge of any Super Falcons game(Paris 2024 Olympics Games against Ethiopia). Waldrum’s assistant at the world cup, has been taking care of the nine-time African champions.

According to the 63-year-old, his players had a good game, but we’re just unlucky in front of goal.
“I’m sad about the result but not with the capacity of our performance. We played a good game, created many chances and clear opportunities, especially in the second half and I think we deserved to win. If we keep up this dominance we will do well.
