You don't have the funds to pay your players their remunerations, let alone the coaches in your other teams, but you want to hire a multimillion dollar coach? That's funny.
The coaches you mentioned have managed to fill their time since leaving the SF as interim coaches, coaching U14 city teams. Yet, these are the coaching candidates you would advocate for, in lieu of a coach who has vast experience in the US, who are the World Champions?
Interesting.

Deltamani:
Randy can’t improve the team more than this.. He need to go, If the NFF can’t get us a Coach of Sari, Tony and Pia Caliber they should settle for the likes of Florence Omagbemi, Mercy Akide Udoh and Co.

Favourite Left Back, Left Winger…

At this juncture, and based on her performance at the U20 and her cameos against the World Champions US, I would place Imuran ahead of her.

Sorry, but what again did Gift do when she was on the pitch, outside of being anonymous?
Good players always carve a niche for themselves, regardless of where they play.
This young lady is grossly overrated, IMO.

I disagree. Even the best players go missing of they are deployed wrongly. Someone as vast and experienced as you should know this. Monday Gift obviously has a lot to prove, but "grossly overrated" is the worst characterization you could have come up with.

She'll definitely prove herself in time and I look forward to you taking back your words.

I wonder the point you’re trying to prove here, Which team was Omagbemi Coaching before she took the job back in 2016?? Same Youth team.

Look at Pep Guadiola for Example, he was Barcelona Youth team Coach before he was given the job to handle the main team..

For your Information Florence Omagbemi is good enough, she has Nothing to prove again, I’m one of those Clamouring for her and Mercy Akide Udoh… If you don’t like it back off..

By the way I gave an Option that if the NFF can’t give us World Class Foreign Coach they should settle for the Ex-internationals who are Coaching. This Ladies have played at the highest level, they know the pressure involved in Playing and Coaching Nigeria, You can’t Compare that to Randy…

Imagine NFF giving Florence the amount of Support they gave to Randy.

She’s not just Coaching U14 for Coaching sake but Wining trophies Back to Back.

I disagree, Patty have not gotten the Kind of minutes the likes of Imuran, Nicole Payne and Glory Ogbonna had. Game time first before any final Conclusion

Anyway I want your see your Analysis on Onyi Echegini 45minutes Performance

Won't buy into this idea for now until Patricia George proves herself on the pitch first..

Anyway Mr Sam spoke highly of Imuran prior to the U20 World Cup and I'm beginning to see it.

I get your point, but no women's team coach earns in millions of dollars. I think the highest yearly salary for a women's football national team coach is still less than $500,000. Not like we can afford that anyway, but I get your

@ Deltamani & Schemerkhiz...
Game time for Imuran is 3 of 4 halves, including going the full 90min against the World Champions and giving a credible outing.
Patty is yet to get a single minute of action since the Turkish invitational.
It seems pretty clear Patty is not being reckoned as good enough at the moment.

FC Barcelona Femení announce the signing of Keira Walsh from Manchester City.

Barça has paid a world record fee of €400K to sign the English midfielder. She makes history becoming the most expensive female player of all time.

Understood, but even at that, the Federations is dirt broke. Sponsorship funds are non-existent and the Ministry who could have helped is bloody useless.
So, where's the money gonna come from? No coach worth his/her salt would want to coach a big team like Nigeria pro-bono. Nigeria is lucky to get a coach like Randy who agreed to work part-time and be paid on an appearance basis, not full time salary. The amount of money he gets paid by Univ. of Pittsburgh is about 2 or 3 times what he makes with Nigeria.
Or wouldn't the likes of Omagbemi and co want to be paid on a salary/annual basis?

The difference though is that Omagbemi or Akide won't be paid in dollars (sadly so). Nigerian coaches no matter their pedigree usually get paid in Naira be the NFF. Same would have applied to them.

You missed my fore-leading point that the Federation is dirt broke.
Be it whatever currency, the coffers are completely dry.
So, its going to be dejavu with Omagbemi, regarding the reason she was initially let go - inability of the federation to pay remunerations, which led to the protest which she allegedly 'supported'.

And besides, going through what she went before, it would be odd to expect that she wouldn't want to have a contract signed in terms of lenght and remunerations, this time around. Something the federation will likely struggle to agree with.

Omagbemi was asked to work under Randy Waldrum as his Assistant but she refused, citing that she's better than been an Assistant to Randy and also didn't agree to leave her Coaching Job abroad..

2016 was 6 years ago. If she is still coaching a the same level she was in 2016, without any upward mobility, then something is definitely wrong with her being the best choice for Nigeria. Pep Guardiola was an integral part of the Barca set up for many years, so there was no loss in step when he took the reigns.

Look, football has significantly evolved since 2016. Its become more competitive and more scientific. I was struck by the rampant use of technology at the recent U20 WWC, where laptops were being used on the bench of teams. Contrasting that with hearing Danjuma yell and scream instructions at his players during the course of the games, while his counterparts were more focused on the use of their laptops for deeper analysis and strategic planning during the games.

This is not personal, you can clamor all you want for whoever you want - you are well within your rights to do so. I am more focused on reality of the lack of personal growth and upward mobility. The sad truth is Omagbemi or Akide are probably more ill-equipped for the job now, as opposed to 2016. This fact should not be discountenanced or lost on us - there is hardly any Nigerian coach out there equipped for this job, considering the very limited capacity building growth they have undergone on the international stage and how far they have been left behind.

Little wonder why the Nigerian options out there have made little progress since 2016..

But one thing we all should also know is that almost all the Superfalcons players the ones of interacted with if not all likes Omagbemi and want her back.. If you're good, you're good. By the way there's no way all of them will be speaking good of her if she's not good enough...!

Omagbemi being a better coach than Randy is a matter of conjecture on her part, as she is fully entitled to her opinion.
Not surprised she opted not to leave her job, afterall, why would she want to undergo the sham she went through in 2016?

I don't think this is right to say Considering their Capabilities as Coaches abroad.. If they're not good enough they won't even be given the opportunity to work... If the offer doesn't come they will tend to keep the job they have doing.
Mercy didn't just became the head Coach of Regent University, Virginia. She worked her way there from the age grade level..

I'm sorry but who are the 'almost all the SF players' are you referring to? How can players who don't know Omagbemi from a can of worms say they 'want her back'? Someone they've never been coached by or played under? Makes absolutely no sense.

Or are you saying the likes of Okobi or Oparanozie or Onome or Chikwelu should influence the future direction of the team, in terms of coaching personnel? With all due respect, they are on borrowed time and will be phased out soonest. Look, these are the old guard, who have pretty much outlived their usefulness to the team and are seeking to remain relevant. So, their opinion is, for all intents and purposes, pretty much irrelevant, if not inconsequential.

If the two matches against the World Champions proved anything, it is that we DEFINATELY do NOT need those old women anymore on the team. The young ladies have proven they can rub shoulders with the world's best. So those old women can go take a hike!

Schemerkhiz,
Unfortunately, Regent University is a Division I South Region member institution in the National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCAA) and are NOT an NCAA team. Truth is I had never heard of the University until when you mentioned it today.

Doing a bit more research, found this and wasn't surprised. They definitely do not have a big time soccer program like the NCAA schools have, which buttresses my initial point. Again, not trying to disparage Akide or any of the other ladies, but this is problematic if this is the best of Nigerian coaches we have.

It is the severance pay to Waldrum that is wahala. NFF is still trying survive Rohr's.

We need people with rich resume. Ex-players should start with our youth teams or as assistants. Except for the proven like Omagbemi...
Winning WAFCON can't be the primary yardstick now (Dennerby did but we were awful to watch)

Always wondered why a coach that finished fourth with a whole Super Falcons did not "resign", was given a day longer on the job...

The players will need to start having the mental shift on how best they can fight for the flag, even with Randy around as:

we saw with England during the Phil Neville days (still reached the World Cup knockouts)

or are seeing with Spain under Vilda �

or we lived through with USA during the Jill Ellis days, starting with the attempted player coup right after the Rio Olympics clobbering... players wanted Ellis out, but if on matchday Ellis was the one on the dugout, they fought their socks off to contain all sorts of moves:

**playing Mal in mid or benching a fit, league MVP Lindsey Horan

**dropping Krieger for two whole years despite the team struggling with not having right-back depth (then abruptly returning the vet right ahead of the 2019 WWC)

*left back had same issues and the Dunns, more of a natural attacker, settling into the LB spot but did not quite have a firm second in command, with all sorts of experiments around Emily Fox, centre back Tierna Davidson being moved to LB all while natural left backs like Casey Short are dropped at will and likes of Caprice Dydasco (one of the best LB in the NWSL for a minute) didn't get a call-up

For any other African side, a coach that seemingly doesn't fit should be enough reason to suffer a total collapse.

For Super Falcons, they have the innate capability and legacy plus the experience to work around a sub-par coach, especially if they don't land in the group of death.

Mercy Akide Udoh and Julie Foudy


So Mercy and Julie were teammates in the US back then. Julie Foudy the US former international Midfielder was one of the Commentators for the game against the US..
