EXCLUSIVE: Waldrum confirms commitment to Super Falcons

Samuel Ahmadu

Africa Women's Football Correspondent

The American tactician has stated he is fully focused on contributing to the success of the African champions at the global stage

Randy Waldrum has confirmed his full commitment to Nigeria amid reports questioning his coaching role with the African champions.

The 64-year-old was announced as the head coach of the Super Falcons on Tuesday, replacing former trainer Thomas Dennerby, who left the post for personal reasons a year ago.

Besides enjoying huge respect in the US, Waldrum is no stranger to women's football on the global stage as he had handled Trinidad and Tobago and the US U23 side.
Deep concerns emerged over the American's terms of engagement with Nigeria hours after the University of Pittsburgh hinted he will retain his headship role with Pitt Panthers.

However, the former coach of Houston Dash and the University of Notre Dame has immediately moved to declare his full-time commitment to guiding the team to long-term success.

"I want everyone to know that I am extremely excited about being your coach for the Super Falcons," Waldrum told Goal.

"It's been a dream of mine for some time now. I appreciate Mr [Amaju] Pinnick and his faith in me and our staff to bring the Super Falcons to new heights. 

"I also understand the full commitment that it takes for my time, for training camps, games, scouting, player management, staff development, and of course team development. 

"These expectations are very clear and I'm anxious to get started. In fact, I will be the one pushing the federation for more opportunities to prepare and train, I'm quite sure. 

"I've already been working and have a ten-year plan I'm anxious to share with the federation in order to prepare our young players in the country now for future years as national team players. 

"Our stars of the 2027 and 2031 World Cups are between 10-12 years old currently, so let's get them in the proper environment now."

After Tuesday's local media outcry over the conditions of Waldrum's appointment, the American's Twitter account was suspended - a shocking development he provided an explanation for.

"As for my social media, I'm working on one for the Super Falcons now," he said.

"I hope to have it up very soon. I'm looking forward to meeting you and all the others very soon."

Even though the duration of his contract are still unclear, Waldrum is expected to lead the Super Falcons to the 2022 African Women's Cup of Nations and qualify for the 2023 Women's World Cup.

lakesidepapa:
Are u working for the NFF?

Hahahaha.... Not at all
Truth be told, I was never in Support of NFF appointing Coach Randy Waldrum but the thing is that it has already happened, let support him and pray for the best from the team...

it's really a thing of Disregard to the Superfalcons for him to Coach them and the college side at the same time.. instead of focusing on only the Superfalcons

jimmyiovine:
I’m hearing Waldrum will still be working for the university alongside Super Falcons?! If true, what kind of rubbish is dat

Yes... Big Time Truth
When Guus Hiddink was Chelsea's coach, he combined it with his Russia's national team job and did well. If the man feels he can combine it, so be it. Let's stop trivialities.

BascoVanVeli:
A nobody being given the keys to a Ferrari. On paper this is the worst hire Nigeria has ever made. The man got fired from Trinidad for crying out loud

Yes he was fired by the Trinidad and Tobago federation but the players Talked good about his impact on the team, it might be a disagreement between him and Federation..

He has coached world Class players at Houston Dash from US National Team, Brazil Canada, Mexico and England even Australia. I don't think it's going to be a much difficult task for him because those Assisting him are very much Experience, they have been in the game for Long too and have also worked with the Various players, Nigeria Women National Teams and Clubs

CoolJulian:
Ngozi Ebere and Rita Chikwelu are two tired players who need to be slowly detached from the team. Both of them usually make the team look too lethargic.

While Chikwelu's quality cannot be questioned, i do not think that she needs to be given much responsibility anymore, considering her age - She is old. Ebere, on the other hand, has completely lost it ; she brings nothing special to the team, she is actually old too, and needs to leave, just like Ikidi.

I hope that Patricia George will come good; it will be a big relief if she does, as she'll take up a big responsibility. I trust the incoming coach to unearth more talents, especially in the midfield and defense. Finally, i like it that the coach is American, as i've always admired their approach and style of play.

Patricia George is another versatile Player, who can slot in from both wings as a Fullback, Wing Back and as a Winger but prefers the Left Wing according to her...
She's Very Fast, Strong, Skillful and can Use Both Feets effectively. She's good at taking CornerKicks and Penalty too..

Coach Randy Waldrum is a good Friend of Superfalcons Defender Osinachi Ohale, He was her coach Back then at Houston Dash...

solonnachi:
Wow... That's great.. Did she coach any team before given this post?

She was the Assistant to Florence Omagbemi back then in 2016, she has also worked as an assistant coach with the U17 Women's team years back.. she's currently the head coach of Abia Angels..

She has CAF highest Coaching qualification and she's also CAF Coach instructors..

Wemimo Matthew worked as the Head Coach of Sunshine Queens, she worked with Thomas Dennerby during the last AWCON before she was dropped, she was also one of the assistant Coaches for the U20 side to 2014/2016 world cup she's experience too....


With Ann Chiejine who knows more about Nigeria/African Women Football alone sef, Randy would be do a good job..

As for the Goalkeeper Coach he had been on and off with the Various Women National Teams since 2010.. A well known and respected Goalkeeper Coach,

Randy Waldrum believe so much in developing Young Player's and Possession Football.. His experience in Coaching the College Teams, Houston Dash, US U23 team and Trinidad and Tobago is something we can benefit from.

Coach Randy love to play the 4-3-3 Formation also

solonnachi:
Congratulations to our Super Falcons. After one year and 4 months of inactivity, we finally get a new coach.

But wait ooo... This Randy Waldrum was announced as the coach some years ago before Dennerby was appointed and he rejected it. Hope he won't reject it again this time. He is also a college coach in US, coached Trinidad and Tobago female team. His CV is not rich and not impressive ooo. But like Gernot Rohr, I hope he uses Nigeria to shine and revive his coaching career. I hope he organizes quality friendlies for our SFs, discover new young talents and develop our female league. I'm sure NFF will also tell him to reside in Nigeria for easy monitoring and grooming of local talents. He has a huge assignment on his hands. God help him!!!

Ann Chiejiene has been a goalkeeper coach, but now she is assistant coach. That's impressive... One day she could coach the team..

In terms of Coaching Qualifications Ann Chiejine is the most qualified Superfalcons Ex-international..

Randy Waldrum.... Head Coach

Ann Chiejine .....1st Assistant Coach

Wemimo Matthew Olarenwaju ....2nd Assistant Coach

Auwar Bashir .... Goalkeeper Coach

Randy Waldrum is new Super Falcons’ Head Coach



The Nigeria Football Federation has announced the appointment of Mr. Randy Waldrum as the new Head Coach of the Senior Women National Team, Super Falcons.



Waldrum, an American who played as a midfielder, has worked largely within the American women football circle and was head coach of the Trinidad and Tobago national team between 2014 and 2016.



He will work with former Super Falcons’ goalkeeper and captain Ann Chiejine, who is the first Assistant Coach, while Wemimo Mathew Olanrewaju will serve as second Assistant Coach and Auwar Bashir Makwalla will be goalkeepers’ trainer.



President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick thanked Philips Consulting, the executors of the recruitment processs, and said he has confidence that the new technical crew will take the Super Eagles to brand new heights.



“The predominance of the Super Falcons on the African continent has never been in doubt, with nine titles out of 11 editions of the Women AFCON competitions held so far. We envision a new Super Falcons squad competing favourably for laurels at the global level, and I believe the new technical crew led by Mr. Waldrum can take us to that level.”

Don't be surprised if we here she Franny is also scoring goals in China. Like I only found out her past season stats lately and they were good. The Chinese women's league gets very poor coverage. U rarely see their games online

Fransisca Ordega have not played any game this season, she's currently here in Nigeria, couldn't return to her Clubside in China because of the Covid-19 pandemic and with recent unconfirmed report it shows that some of them won't be returning to China...

ONOME Ebi
Fransisca Ordega
Chinwendu Ihezuo

mostob:
Sir, Orji or Umotong?

No Long Stories... Ebere Orji

mostob:
Bro pls any update on Nnadozie and Njoku? I believe these two are the remaining players to complete the team.

Nnadozie is based in France with Paris FC ..out of three game this season, she hasn't debut yet but has been on the bench on two games with Brazilian Goalkeeper Natascha Honegger playing ahead of her as First Choice..
let wait and see how it goes and I'm very sure she will definitely take her Chance..



Ugo Njoku will be 26yrs by November 27.... have been off the game since Last year, she's back with Rivers Angels but hasn't played football this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic..

She's Looking so chubby and need to work more to attain her Fitness back..

With the rise of Chidinma Okeke as another Right Back there would be a stiff Competition between this two in that Position who's to start..
Left for me i go Pick inform Ugo Njoku oooo
she be correct Modern day Right Back
she don deliver well well from U17 to U20 to Superfalcons..

mostob:
Ordega or KANU? Based on current form, I will reluctantly pick Kanu.

I will still pick Ordega ahead of Kanu....
Experience, Pace, strength and Defensive abilities Ordega is ahead of her and she does more of the playing and assist than Scoring..

Kanu is more of a goal Scorer, she plays like Ronaldo always eager to score which is one aspect she's better than Ordega....
I think with time Kanu will reach her full potential and will be unplayable..

Here's a little clips of Christy Ucheibe

Ayinde is tank she never get tired ....she need a new partner in that mildfield chita is old

Yes Rita Chikwelu 32yrs is old but most of this Women Footballers performs better at their old age, her experience is something we can't overlook... I think the Coaches need to bring in the Likes of SC Benfica Defensive Midfielder Christy Ucheibe for the place of Chikwelu, She's Plays typically like Winifred Ndidi this will enable Okobi roam freely and give more room for Ayinde to travel box-to-box.. Those who watched the 2018 U20 FIFA Women's World Cup in France can testify how good she's..
