Randy Waldrum: We recognise the strengths of Cote d’Ivoire


Nigeria women's coach Randy Waldrum has admitted knowledge of Cote d'Ivoire's strengths ahead of the final qualifying round for this year's TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco as his side are preparing for Friday’s first leg game in Abuja.
The Super Falcons are eyeing a 12th consecutive appearance at this year's continental showpiece but must avoid another upset against the Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire, who dumped them out of Tokyo 2020 Olympic qualifier in 2019.

Since 2015, the Nigerians are yet to record an outright win in the last five meetings with the Ivorians, but the American tactician is unperturbed as he is motivated by his team's mood and depth ahead of their first leg this week.

"The spirit in the camp is very high and positive. The players have been looking forward to these matches for some time now and their professionalism has been fantastic," Waldrum told CAFOnline.com.

"I think we have a good understanding of Cote d’Ivoire and their current side. I’m not big on past history as that is why they call it history. The previous matches have no bearing on this one.

"We recognize the strengths of our opponents and will be prepared for that. Obviously, it’s vitally important to our goals of achieving another FIFA Women's World Cup berth. Playing the first match at home is important as well to get on the front foot in everything we do."

Nigeria's only triumph over the Ivorians in the last five ties came via a penalty shootout after Uchenna Kanu's late finish cancelled Ange N'Guessan's opener in the 2019 WAFU Cup final in Abidjan.

Clementine Toure will be banking on the experience of former Barcelona and Tenerife star N'Guessan, while Waldrum is looking up to his array of talents to snatch the vital WAFCON ticket.

"She (Ange N'Guessan) is a good player along with a few others. Having said that our results will depend on the performance of our players," the former Trinidad and Tobago boss continued.

"We have some talents in our team as well. We also understand how they will try to play against us, and the physical component is one part of it. We will cope with this well and as I said before controlling the game can eliminate some of those issues."

In October, the African champions advanced on a 2-1 aggregate win over Ghana despite a 1-0 second-leg loss in Accra, which marked their first-ever defeat in the history of the WAFCON qualifiers.

We recognize the strengths of our opponents and will be prepared for that. Obviously, it’s vitally important to our goals of achieving another FIFA Women's World Cup berth. Playing the first match at home is important as well to get on the front foot in everything we do.
Randy Waldrum
On the historic loss, the 65-year-old gaffer reflected on the misadventure against the Black Queens in Accra but is upbeat they can put up an improved display against the Ivorians.

"Ghana were a very good side and getting past them was one hurdle. We didn’t control the game against Ghana as well as we should apart from the first half of the home leg," he admitted.

"As I said before, getting past Cote d’Ivoire means we continue on our goal of achieving the Women's World Cup qualification. So, we must do a better job of this against Cote d’Ivoire.

"Also it always comes down to the players and who is available. Right now we are in a pretty good place with that."

Nigeria will be at home in the first leg against the Ivorians at the MKO Abiola National Stadium Abuja on February 18 before travelling for the decisive return leg in Abidjan on February 23.

Is everyone criticising for petty, ill informed or vindictive reasons U must have really felt u were intelligent when u decided to run with one single word ba out of the whole explanation. People like u just want to be right but can't say one single thing right.

I criticise Pinnick when the nff does something wrong. Can u say the same about Oshoala Comparing both situations is just ludicrous and honestly so you.

Probably American not British

You do have a point and I stand to be corrected.
I struggled with this one and went with Otu because of the hairstyle...
However, I did find a pic with both ladies in the same frame, which proves it might not be Regina Otu in the probable starting 11, though.

Question is: who is this HB player then?

Schemerkhiz:
Missed one, Regina Otu isn't there, the one you thought is Regina is an Home based player ( a Midfielder to be Specific )

Sade Ayinde Named Women’s Soccer Head Coach
2/18/2022 1:00:00 AM

ALBANY, N.Y. – On Wednesday, February 16, 2022, the University at Albany announced the hiring of Sade Ayinde as the next head coach of the Great Danes’ women’s soccer program. Ayinde is the 14th women’s soccer head coach in program history, and eighth in the Division I era.

I am beyond excited to serve as the next head coach of the UAlbany women’s soccer program. I would like to thank Mark Benson, Vic Cegles, and Cara White for the time and effort they put into this entire process, and their belief in me to lead these young women on and off the field. UAlbany is a special place where the athletics department is continually growing and providing ways to allow its student-athletes to find success. I am grateful for all my past experiences, former players, and to all those that have helped me along the way to this moment, and I am thrilled to get started with the team.
UAlbany Women's Soccer Head Coach Sade Ayinde
Ayinde joins UAlbany from her previous position as an Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at Yale University. Joining the Bulldogs in January, 2019, Ayinde focused her instructive efforts with the strikers and midfielders while heading up the Bulldogs’ domestic and international recruiting program. At Yale, she coached Aerial Chavarin, a 2020 NWSL draft pick and the 2019 Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year.


“We are thrilled to welcome Sade Ayinde to UAlbany and into our Great Dane family,” said UAlbany Director of Athletics Mark Benson. “She has experience as a player, coach and recruiter, both collegiately and professionally. From the club level to US Women’s Soccer, America East, and the Ivy league, her experiences made her an ideal candidate to lead our women’s soccer program. As an athletic department we strive to support our student-athletes in becoming Great Leaders, Great Champions and Great Danes. Sade shares those core values and is a great fit for the Great Danes.”

Ayinde’s time at Yale overlapped with her role as a Youth National Team Scout for U.S. Soccer. Starting in September 2017, Ayinde was assigned scouting duties for the Northeast region with a focus on New York and New Jersey.

Before joining the staff at Yale, Ayinde spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Stony Brook, where she worked primarily with the Seawolves’ defenders and goalkeepers. Over her three seasons with the Seawolves, the team won one America East title, in 2017. She was part of the 2016 staff that was named America East Coaching Staff of the Year, and she coached 11 players who earned America East All-Conference honors.

Beyond her work with the US National Team, Ayinde's extracollegiate coaching experience extends to the Olympic Development Program, for which she has worked since 2015. She was head coach of the Connecticut GU14 from 2019-21, and an assistant coach of the Eastern New York South GU12 the three years before that.

Ayinde’s coaching career began in August, 2012, when she assumed the head coaching position at East Meadow Soccer Club, a position she held for more than six years. During her time with East Meadow, Ayinde was head coach of three teams: the Girls 2000 NPL team from 2016-19, the Girls 2000 ENCL team from 2015-16, and the Girls 2006 teams from 2015-17. She was also assistant coach for the GU16 ECNL from 2015-16, and coach of the developmental academy for youth players ages six to nine.


Ayinde was a standout striker at the University of Maryland, where in 79 appearances over four seasons she scored 16 goals and recorded 17 assists, including her highlight junior season where she scored 10 goals with seven assists. Ayinde’s Terrapins advanced to the NCAA Round of 16 in 2011 and 2009, and to the NCAA Round of 32 in 2010. In 2008, following her rookie season, she was named to the Soccer Buzz All-Mid-Atlantic Freshman Team.

After college, Ayinde toured the professional circuit, playing for the New York Magic and the Long Island Rough Riders of the W-League, as well as oversees in Sweden for Kopparberg/Göteborg FC and IF Brommapojkarna.

Before enrolling at Maryland, Ayinde was a member of the United States Youth National Pool for the U14, U16, U17, U18, and U20 teams. She was also, in 2007, named to the NSCAA/adidas Girls Youth All-America team.

What They're Saying About Ayinde

I am so excited for Sade and the UAlbany Women’s Soccer program as I believe it is an incredible fit on both sides. Sade’s intentionality with players and her passion for the wholistic approach to the student-athlete experience will make each of her student-athletes lucky to be mentored by her. She is thoughtful in her actions, constantly learning, and a proven winner. While I will certainly miss working with Sade each day, I am excited for this next chapter for her and the entire UAlbany department.

Yale Women's Soccer Head Coach Sarah Martinez
Sade is an excellent hire for the lucky women of UAlbany women’s soccer. She is very well-rounded with an incredible growth mindset and desire to consistently educate herself on the cutting-edge trends of the game. She has experienced the game at the highest levels as a player and will continue to transfer this knowledge as a coach to her athletes and will be excellent in building this program to be more competitive.

Sade was a terrific player - a very accomplished USYNT player and someone who always had a really good feel for the game. At Maryland, she was a big piece of our success, scoring some of her most impressive goals in the biggest moments. It has been fun to watch Sade’s growth, development, and hunger as a coach. She is ready for this next step and will do a phenomenal job teaching, inspiring, and leading the players at UAlbany.
Tennessee Women's Soccer Head Coach Brian Pensky

I couldn't be happier for one of our own to take this amazing step as a head coach. I know Sade will be successful as she has been dedicated to her craft and is one of the most well-respected up-and-coming coaches in the country. UAlbany is in great hands with this former Terp and I know it will only be a matter of time before she will leave her mark on the program. It's a great day to be a Great Dane.”
Maryland Women's Soccer Head Coach Meghan Ryan Nemzer
Professionally, Ayinde was selected as a member of the WeCoach Mentorship Program, and was one of 15 women named to the NCSAA’s 30 under 30 for the 2016-17 class. She holds professional certifications in Scouting, Goalkeeper Training, and Personal Training, among others.

Ayinde joins a UAlbany women's soccer program that has won three America East titles since 2015, and went 6-8-4 in 2021, advancing to the America East semifinal round.
