I don’t understand the fascination with white coaches by our administrators. The current US Women’s Soccer team coach is not even an American. In fact the greatest successes of the USWNT have come with non-American coaches. Same for their Men’s team as the current American coach was fired after their Copa America debacle. If Randy Waldrum was a good coach, he would be coaching the US team, not Nigeria. He is a good college coach, which is what he has been primarily his whole life. He is killing the flair and creativity of this team. Playing players out of position and playing formations that don’t bring out the Nigerian style of attacking and purposeful play. This was another Amaju Pinnick hire, that Warri tout and street hustler, who should never have been allowed anywhere near Nigerian football administration. They frustrated Florence Omagbemi, a dedicated former player and captain. Instead of helping her to develop as a coach so as to get the best out of her, they frustrated her and in all honesty, the Super Falcons have not been particularly Super for a while, save for that surprising but short lived WC performance. I still don’t think Randy Waldrum is the answer. We need to develop a total football infrastructure from scouting, to player development and management, including administration. We have to have a Nigerian system from youth/academy all the way to the senior teams. Gift Monday is a very talented player and should have been on this team. Also not sure why the FA never approached the Ijeh girl, daughter of Peter Ijeh, that is now playing for Sweden. That would have solved our goal scoring woes, as this team lacks a prolific goal scorer.
