Waldrum Resigns As Super Falcons Head Coach

Randy Waldrum has resigned from his position as head coach of Nigeria’s senior women’s national team, Super Falcons.

The 67-year-old cited his wife’s heath issues as reason for his decision to step down from the post.

“It’s been a very difficult few weeks following the Olympics, with my wife’s health issues, and the worries that obviously come with that,” stated the American.

” After much thought and consideration, I am hereby resigning my position as Head Coach of the Super Falcons. This will allow the NFF ample time to find the next manager to take over this incredible squad.”

Waldrum was appointed Super Falcons head coach on October 5, 2020.

The former Trinidad and Tobago gaffer rejected the post three years earlier.

He guided the team to fourth position at the 2022 Africa Women’s Nations Cup in Morocco.

The Super Falcons however put up a respectable showing at 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup where they bowed out on penalties to England in the Round of 16.

The nine-time African champions however failed to make it beyond the group stage in the women’s football event at the 2024 Olympic Games.
