Super Falcons Head Coach, Randy Waldrum, will not be in charge of the women’s national team when they meet Ethiopia’s Lucy in the decisive leg of their Paris 2024 Olympic Games qualifier in Abuja this week.

There have been speculations that the Nigeria Football Federation was not disposed to extending the American’s contract following the face off it had with the Pittsburgh Panthers head coach before and during the Australia 2023 Women World Cup.

NFF Technical Director, Augustine Eguavoen, had earlier told The Guardian that the federation would resolve whatever issues it had with Waldrum when the manager shows up in the country. “At that point, the technical committee needed to wait till another time the Super Falcons will play their next game to finalise the coach’s contract, which is coming very soon. We are in a good relationship with Waldrum. I can’t say how long his contract would be extended until the technical committee meets with him,” he stated.

With the 67th Ballon d’Or ceremony set to hold on Monday in Paris, Super Eagles and Napoli in-form striker, Victor Osimhen, is in the seventh cloud over his nomination. At the same time, he is one of the nominees for the FIFA’s The Best.
