New Waldrum’s Assistants Recommend Overhauling Of Super Falcons


The two coaches appointed Tuesday by the Nigeria Football Federation to assist Super Falcons Head coach, Randy Waldrum, are of the view that the team need to be overhauled for improved performance,
The coaches, Justine Madugu and Edwin Okon, told Completesports.com in separate chats Tuesday soon after their meeting with the President of NFF, Amaju Piñnick and other chieftains of the federation, that their assignment include scouting and training young, quality players, home and abroad, for the Super Falcons

Okon, a former coach of Super Falcons who is now the Chief Scout, is saddled with the responsibility of scouting for players from the domestic league and the leagues abroad. He insists that the team must be overhauled for Nigeria to maintain her dominance of the women’s football in the continent

“I am optimistic that the Super Falcons will still dominate women’s football in Africa for long if we overhaul the current squad with the introduction of young and very good players in and outside Nigeria. We need to beef up the team to maintain our position as the best team in Africa,” Okon who is the coach of Nigeria Women’s Football League champions, Rivers Angels, stated
We have to go to work immediately to help fish out players who take over from the ageing and out of form players in the Super Falcons. We cannot afford to miss qualifying for the World Cup in 2023, so we would recommend the players that will help the coach in moving forward.”

On his part, Justine Madugu is now the First Assistant Coach, agreed that the Super Falcons needs strengthening up with the gradual injection of younger and hungrier players, adding that the team still has the quality to conquer Africa again

“The process of rebuilding a team has to be a gradual process. We cannot just throw away the ageing players, we need some of them around to help the young one develop. We shall allow them to compete with the older players for places in the team. We have to ease them off gradually,” Madugu stated.

He added: “We know these players and we know their capacity and mentality and we know our strength. It is those strengths that we work on so that we can get the best out of the players.

“When European coaches arrive Africa, it always takes them a while to settle down and understand the players and the time is not there. That is why they need coaches who know these players to guide them,” Madugu stressed.

This has always been my point of view on Waldrum. He just spent a year as our coach (appointed October 5).

Let's give him the chance. Since he came, we've won 5 matches, drawn Portugal, lost 3- USA, Jamaica (0-1), and Ghana (2nd leg loss).

Let him grow with the team. We can't keep throwing out all the woods in the name of getting better results. We will be left with nothing. Each coach will have to start getting acquainted with team, restructuring and understanding them. Within a year, we send them off. And the process begins afresh.

cameroun coach right

isan:
there are already young players home and abroad in the team the problem is the coach not being committed to his work

marvin906:


That's true cause I think lots of falcons fans including would love to see the foreign players given more chance..
Akozie
Zogg
Ifeoma
Nicole
And the rest

AkinDS:
Was it not the same coach that brought all the players you listed to the team in the first place? So how is he not committed to his work?
Was it not a section of you Nigerian fans that said Alozie messed up in the ABC Invitational that forced the coach to resort to someone else playing at right back? Seems yall missed Alozie, huh?
Is the coach responsible for the administrative work in switching the allegiance of players (in the place of Zogg, Plumptre and Onumonu)?
Does the coach control the academic calendar of WVU that would allow Nicole Payne to skip school for a FIFA match?

Every time new players are integrated, it takes time to blood them. We saw that with Rasheedat, Payne and even Nnadozie. We need to exercise patience and let the process take its course. The right players have been identified to make the team better - we just need to blood and integrate them into the SE.
