What I'm even more curious about is how did Pinnick get the idea of hiring Randy?
Pinnick modus operandi of hiring coaches for the national team is to consult others to recommend coaches for him or just pick any former coach to recycle,rather than going through the fornal process of opening applications.. Randy isn't an household name in women football and has not won anything,so obviously,his appointment was likely based on recommendation...

And what impact has Randy who has the 'better credentials' had on the team?

How can a Coach be battling with knowing his regular 11 and subs, na only him da rebuild??

Look at the US that Love their veterans a lot, they have being rebuilding too and some of their players have been out with serious injuries and maternity leave..


Randy have no excuses for his failure, the man have to go… South Africa Coach 🇿🇦 Desiree Ellis is better than him, that Woman just da knack Randy to and fro

do4luv14:
I think it was based on the Technical committee recommendation,

They forward a final list of 3 names to the TC for recommendations, so it is the name picked by the Technical committee that is always picked,
e. g Rohr, And AE

Renard is currently the manager of the Saudi Arabia national team and led them to the 2022 World Cup, where they beat Argentina 2-1 in their opening game. 🔥

He also had previous international success in Africa with the Ivory Coast and Zambia, two nations which he both won the AFCON with🥇

With the World Cup just around the corner, a change is management could see players who recently stepped away rejoin the squad, and he could help France lift their first trophy 🏆👀

Waldrum: I Can Build Something Special With Super Falcons Squad

Nigeria’s Super Falcons coach, Randy Waldrum, says he’s optimistic of building a solid team with the array of talents at his disposal ahead of the 2023 Women’s World Cup slated for New Zealand and Australia.

Recall the Superfalcons won just 1 game at the first edition of the Women’s Revelation Cup which features country such as Mexico, Colombia and Costa Rica.
In an interview with TheNFF,com, Waldrum stated that he;s delighted working with the likes of Asisat Oshoala, Desire Oparanozie, Ifeoma Onumonu, Rasheedat Ajibade, Esther Okoronkwo, Ashleigh Plumptre, Rofiat Imuran and a few to mention.

“I think the current Super Falcons squad is loaded with so many talented players. There are a lot of players that have much to offer in the team and I am reasonably excited and hopeful,” Waldrum told thenff.com
“Asisat Oshoala is in great form and we all know what she is capable of. When you add players like Desire Oparanozie, who is also very much in the mix, as well as Ifeoma Onumonu, Rasheedat Ajibade and Esther Okoronkwo, no doubt, we have so many effective weapons offensively.


“I am confident that we can build something special with this squad. We have also got some bright players like Rofiat Imuran coming in, in her twenties, same with Tosin Demehin, to go along with experienced players like Osinachi Ohale.
“Ashleigh Plumptre has also been a great addition for us at the back. I think I love the strength of the team; it’s just about getting the best eleven to play on the pitch.”

Racing Louisville on Tuesday reported no changes to its current preseason roster at the March 6 deadline for National Women’s Soccer League teams to post their 32-player rosters.

Twenty-six players are currently in market, including four of Racing’s players who were on loan in Australia over the offseason. Midfielder Alex Chidiac reported to preseason camp last week, and goalkeeper Jordyn Bloomer is expected to return Tuesday after a loan spell with Western Sydney Wanderers FC.

Forward Uchenna Kanu, who signed with Racing in January, should be in Louisville soon. The Nigerian international is hoping to join Racing for its upcoming trip to Portland.

The team leaves for Oregon on Friday ahead of the Portland Thorns FC preseason tournament at Providence Park, which is set to run March 12-18 and include four squads playing a round-robin format. In addition to Portland and Racing, the event will feature fellow NWSL club OL Reign and the United States U-23 squad.

Racing is building toward a 22-game regular season that will play out over seven months, starting on Sunday, March 26, and concluding in mid-October. Louisville’s home opener is set for Saturday, April 1, against the Washington Spirit.

Discover the review of the 6 years spent by Corinne Diacre as the head of the French Women's Team.

Corinne Diacre's record at the head of the Blues:

▪️72 games
▪️57 wins
▪️7 nulls
▪️8 defeats
▪️231 goals scored
▪️44 goals Conceded
▪️ 2019 World Cup quarter final at home
▪️Euro 2022 semi-finals
▪️ French Tournament 2020, 2022, 2023 🏆 🏆 🏆

A rather satisfactory record, but the internal mismanagement of the players, keeps Diacre away from her ambitions to win the next Australia/New Zealand 2023 World Cup to be held next July.

Gusua and the NFF should approach her asap, no time for time

Deltamani:
Hmm, More like an egocentric Woman to me? Anyhow she has a good CV and one of the top French female Coach but her relationship with players is what I’m not in support of.. If you keep having problem with your Star and Key players it shows your players management skill is poor…

do4luv14:
Just like Sunday Oliseh

Deltamani:
Way to go girl!
Congrats Deborah Abeodun

lovewins:
This is Waldrum's team I believe.

So happy for Deborah.

This in my opinion should be the route most of our u-17 and u20 players should go through. Try to get into college programs in the US while going to school. They are likely to learn the rudiments and basics they probably didn't learn in Nigeria there.

Thanks to Waldrum for this.

Deltamani:
This girl na Superfalcons future Defensive/Box2Box Midfielder, I just pray she develops well under Randy cause Randy as a Coach get e own crase 4 body, the results from Superfalcons ain’t speaking well of his abilities as a Coach

lovewins:
The good thing though is that she's in that space. If she does well she can easily transfer to another program in the US, say Florida where Onyi is. Just do well and catch some attention, better programs will come for you.
