... to be officially unveiled at a ceremony in Nigeria
New Head Coach of the Women’s National Team of Nigeria, Randy Waldrum, has formally signed his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation NFF, as he begins work with the Super Falcons.
The simple ceremony took place at the team’s Emir Hotels
abode in Antalya, Turkey.
The Super Falcons are in Turkey to compete in The Turkish
Women’s Cup Tournament, also known as the Alanya Gold City Cup. It is Waldrum’s
first assignment with the reigning African champions.
President of the NFF, Amaju Melvin Pinnick, affirmed the
belief of the football-governing body in the ability of the 64 –year old
American to propel the Super Falcons to a higher level in women football’s
global ranking.
“We believe that Mr. Waldrum is the right man to take the
Super Falcons from where the team presently is to that higher level that we
want it to be. We have been champions of Africa on nine occasions and it is
time that we move up to competing stoutly for honours at the global level.”
General Secretary of the NFF, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi signed on
behalf of the NFF, with NFF Executive Member Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande, Chairman
of the Women’s Football Committee, Hon. Ayo Hulayat Omidiran and Technical
Director, Mr. Augustine Eguavoen also present.
While disclosing that Waldrum would be officially unveiled
at a ceremony as soon as he is in Nigeria, Pinnick also charged the General
Secretary to endeavour to invite credible businessmen to have sessions with
players of the Super Falcons any time they are in camp, with a view to guiding
the players on how to invest wisely.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced Randy Waldrum's
appointment in October 2020 as the new
Head Coach of the Senior Women National Football Team, the Super Falcons.
Waldrum, an American, who played as a midfielder, succeeds
Swedish Thomas Dennerby who resigned from the job in October last year.
