Secretary of the Technical Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation, Bitrus Bewarang have hinted that the NFF could be set to appoint an interim coach for the Super Falcons.

 This comes after Randy Waldrum rejected the offer to handle the Falcons following his appointment as technical adviser of the team in October 2017.

Bewarang explained that it was to enable the ladies prepare for the maiden West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Women's Cup in Côte d'Ivoire next year.

"The Technical Committee will have to recommend someone immediately to the NFF Executive Committee to take charge of the team for the WAFU tournament," the NFF member told NAN.ng

 He further stated that the football federation was disappointed over Waldrum's rejection, as it was in the final process of finalising the contract details.


The 61-year-old American last Wednesday was named the women's soccer team head coach of University of Pittsburgh.

"We were in talks with him about taking the job. All that was left was just to sit with him and discuss his entitlements.

"The Protocol Department was even working on getting a visa for him and his flight tickets to the country when the development (of his taking up another job) reached us.

"We were taken aback, because getting such hand for the Falcons would have been a plus to our team."
