All the ex - internationals are not good enough to handle super falcons... Omagbemi last coach a professional team 8 years ago the has left her behind

My Only Problem is that they’re all stocked with Youth & College teams, Omagbemi, Akide and Okosieme all in the US for their past 15years of Coaching..

So Michelle Alozie is now a Left Wing Back😂😂

Houston Dash no go kill me o, anyway good for her versatility at least won’t keep her away from the Starting 11

She’s currently playing Left Wing Back for Houston Dash against Washington Spirit.. second game in a role.

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

In addition to your points, must the super falcons be coached exclusively by the team's ex-players or career-female football coaches?

I've heard Florence Omagbemi, Ann Chiejine, Mercy Akide-Udoh, Eucharia Uche and Perpetua Nkwocha speak and they do not seem tactically adept, technically astute or inspire confidence. Na so so religiousity, prayer and God dem dey trumpet

If we're going local. I prefer we go for the best hands; a male who is proven and tested in coaching at the senior level and has managed adult teams not kids.

I'll have suggested the NFF Technical Director, Augustine Eguavoen but I suspect he'll be at the helms of the Super Eagles for a while and combining that with the role of the Super Falcons coach may be unworkable.

So I'm thinking Fidelis Ilechukwu, Imama Amapakabo or Daniel Ogunmodede would be perfect for the job.

If Herve Rennard with all his experience,, achievements and coaching laurels can be coach of the French National Female team, why should we restrict our most successful national football team to being coached by inexperienced female ex-internationals and B-grade foreign coaches.?

We might as well try our proven coaches in the NPFL.

From Randy’s Resignation letter circulating around, I didn’t see him mention his Nigerian Assistants Coaches (Justin Madugu, Ann Chiejene and the Goalkeeper Coach) but he acknowledge the rest including Media Officer, team Physio & Doctor)

Hmmm…. isn’t something fishy there??

Sorry to ask what did Herve Renard win with the star stunded French team? You think Coaching the female team is same as male right? Females and males have extremely different thought processes and brains which adds even more differentiation to the uniqueness of individual players. So you can’t just bring someone who hasn’t been around the Women’s game to take over especially a big team like the SuperFalcons that’s tankful... ( Coach Kadiri Ikenna tried it before and Failed with the SuperFalcons in 2012) I’m not in support of that..!

If they can’t get a Top & World Class Foreign Coach in the Women’s game, they should go for either Florence Omagbemi or Mercy Akide Udoh. They’re the biggest and best Ex-internationals who are Coaches that we can rely upon..

I don’t even want to see any Justin Madugu and Ann Chiejene suggestion at all..

lovewins:
None of them should get the job. Like you said in an earlier post, what have they been doing the last couple of years? Asides being former players, in what basis should they be in contention for the job? Like you highlighted, asides the fact that they lack highly in experience, none of them have high level coaching certifications.

The biggest issue for me is tram management. I've seen Ayinla and Mercy Akide talk and they don't come across as people who will effectively manage the team properly (I may be wrong). Omagbemi is the only one I haven't heard talk lately so can't access her.

What's puzzling is there are many African countries who will at least consider giving someone like Mercy Akide and Omagbemi a job based on their playing history alone. Why our old players don't take up jobs elsewhere but wait on the sidelines for the Nigerian national team job with no experience s always puzzling.

The NFF should go get an experienced coach that can manage the team properly. Preferably one who won't mind being resident half the time in Nigeria.

The only way I'll support appointing any of our ex players is if the other option is Justin or Ann.

My problem with them have always been the same, they’re stucked with Coaching at the Youth level. For over 15years now they have been handing the age grade teams over there in US🇺🇸 especially those top3 Florence, Akide and Nkiru Okosieme who were very good players during their playing days. We need them out the Pro level,..

But if NFF can’t get a World Class Foreign Coach, they should go with the Ex-internationals. I don’t want to see anything Justin Madugu & Ann Chiejene.

Anyway, Rinsola Babajide be doing the most here..!

Orlando Pride Evelina Pirjo Jovanka Duljan who’s of Nigerian Descent comes in for her First NWSL game this season after recovering from an injury…

Can play Right Back and Midfield.

She left Juventus🇮🇹 to the NWSL

PDPGuy:
I wouldn’t mind if Chiejine, Akide, and Omagbemi are contracted to manage the SF

But will the pair of Omagbemi & Akide work as both are big names in the game. Omagbemi have been tested before, she’s a proven Winner and always find a way to win.

PDPGuy:
I wouldn’t mind if Chiejine, Akide, and Omagbemi are contracted to manage the SF

I think I would go for the pair of Omagbemi, Akide and Ayisat Yusuf.

This trio would come up good( A Midfielder, Attacker and Defender combo) as Ayisat can double task as a fitness Coach also.

The NCC are very good with possession.. Bay FC are doing their job though but were caught out on the goal they conceded.

Don’t Blink ⚡️ Here are the 10 fastest NWSL players in #FC25 💨

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has clarified recent claims concerning the status of senior women’s national team head coach, Randy Waldrum, Nigeria Football can exclusively confirm.

By Chief Editor Samuel Ahmadu

Contrary to rumours of a resignation on Friday morning, the NFF confirms that coach Waldrum’s contract has expired following the conclusion of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.


A senior official of the NFF, speaking anonymously to NigeriaFootball.ng, explained: “Coach Randy Waldrum did not resign from his position. His contract with the NFF was set to expire after the 2024 Olympic Games, which have now concluded.


“We are appreciative of his contributions to Nigerian football and the Super Falcons.” During his almost four-year reign as Falcons head coach, Waldrum guided the Super Falcons to the Round of 16 at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and broke a 16-year drought by qualifying the team for the Olympics.

“The NFF is now focusing on finding a new head coach who will build on the solid foundation established under Coach Waldrum’s tenure,” the official continued.
“We thank him for his commitment and service to Nigerian football and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

With Waldrum’s contract now concluded following the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is making strategic plans to appoint a new head coach for the Super Falcons.

This transition provides the NFF ample time to carefully scout for a suitable replacement ahead of the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), set to take place in Morocco, from July 5–26, 2025.

By the way an agenda for Ex-international to take over the SuperFalcons have started playing in😂😂😂


Anyhow sha…!

To me only Florence Omagbemi and Mercy Akide Udoh are on the level to be head Coach if they throughly want to go with an Ex-int.


But If I may ask? On Paper What is their Qualifications(Coaching Badges).


But again we have many Ex-internationals who are doing well for themselves as Coaches with various teams home & abroad

Based in the US 🇺🇸
•• Florence Omagbemi
•• Mercy Akide Udoh

Danielnino00:
Say what?
That set gave us Ajibade, Ucheibe, Gift Monday, Effih, Okeke and your beloved Glory Ogbonna, lol..

They even played better football than the nonsense this set is played..!

Being a good player doesn't necessarily mean they are going to be a good coach. Its a different ball game entirely..If it works that way, Some of these big names should be one by now....Some Ex players have done well in that aspect and we have top coaches right now who weren't top players.

With the amount of players Europe produces every year, how many ex players has successfully transitioned to being great coaches?

It's not about the continent...Ability to manage and lead is personal. To be a top player and a top coach is cool but not everyone has that luxury!

By the way what has our Ex-internationals been doing till date to up their Coaching game?

Randy Waldrum @CoachWaldrum

Who no enjoy am get witch normally 😂😂😂


Who are you guys banking on to lead the girls now that Randy Waldrum is gone??

••• Another Foreign Coach to step in??

••• His Nigerian Assistants Justine Madugu & Ann Chiejene should step in??

••• Give the top Ex-internationals a chance( Coach Florence Omagbemi, Coach Mercy Akide Udoh etc)??

••• Get a Coach from the NWPL here??

ThePresenceWtf:
For some Reason This man will Take Nigeria to the next U20 World Cup, The next one after that, and the next after that. That's the Nigerian Way....Rewarding of failure.


Oh...And this man thought it wise to omit Kalu from the squad and an actual out and out striker from his line ups... Smh.

Omor that Chinyere Kalu drop was were his failure started from, like she isn’t injured. Was one of the best player in the League last season. Did scored important goals from set pieces to help Nasarawa Amazon in the League..

How is the Japanese second goal an offside??🫣

VAR pls… that’s a clear gooooooaal for them.

daveP:
Na pes or fifa i dey watch cos na Danjuma dey hold pad to control these players. He's been controlling every single minute. Notice how he's majorly shouting about their lack of positioning and marking out.

More like he didn’t Coach them on what to do during training at all….! To be sincere this is wack.!

The last time Nigeria had a quality Right Back from the League here was Ugo Njoku…. This one(Alani) I’m seeing is trash, her one time cross always over hit or ends up with the Opponent.

Thank Goodness we have a lot of U23 Players that can step in, not this U20 at all…!

daveP:
Imuran and Omilana ball watching the cross

The gk had all the advantage for a leap to claim that ball yet she dey look like say na 7th world wonder

Smh

Japan leads

Abeg na Basco best goalkeeper be that ooo, no talk again🫣🫣
