The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has given the clearest indication that the coach of the women’s team of Nigeria Randy Waldrum won’t be given fresh terms following the expiration of his deal, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Waldrum led the Super Falcons to the round of 16 at the Women’s World Cup before bowing out to England on penalties. His team were largely praised for their performance at the tournament.
Prior to the World Cup, the team was troubled with the issue of unpaid bonuses and also salaries of the technical crew which cut across two years for the players and above one year for the coach.
That row was however not a distraction as they went ahead to post what can arguably be termed as Nigeria’s best display in the history of the tournament before their exit. But it appears it won’t be enough to hand the coach fresh terms.

Speaking on the future of the coach, the president of the NFF Gusau hinted that he will likely not be in charge by refusing to name him as the coach that will lead them in the Olympic qualifiers next month.
“When the contract of the coach expires, we have to allow the Technical Committee to do their job and make a proper recommendation.
“Next month, the Super Falcons will play in the Olympic Qualifiers and before that time we must have decided on who will be the coach”, he said.
