Randy Waldrum has been appointed as the head coach of the Super Falcons, the Nigerian Football Federation announced on Monday.

The Nigeria senior female team had gone a year with a coach, after the departure of Thomas Dennerby in October 2019.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), on Monday, made the announcement via a statement.

In 2017, Waldrum rejected the offer of the NFF for the senior female national team managerial role.

Announcing the appointment of the American, NFF noted that the wealth of Waldrum’s experience will take the team to another level.

“The Nigeria Football Federation has announced the appointment of Mr. Randy Waldrum as the new Head Coach of the Senior Women National Team, Super Falcons.

“Waldrum, an American who played as a midfielder, has worked largely within the American women football circle and was head coach of the Trinidad and Tobago national team between 2014 and 2016.

“He will work with former Super Falcons’ goalkeeper and captain Ann Chiejine, who is the first Assistant Coach, while Wemimo Mathew Olanrewaju will serve as second Assistant Coach and Auwar Bashir Makwalla will be goalkeepers’ trainer.

“The predominance of the Super Falcons on the African continent has never been in doubt, with nine titles out of 11 editions of the Women AFCON competitions held so far.

“We envision a new Super Falcons squad competing favourably for laurels at the global level, and I believe the new technical crew led by Mr. Waldrum can take us to that level,” NFF said.
