The board of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has approved the appointmen­t of American Randy Waldrum as new Super Falcons head coach.

He has replaced Florence Omagbemi, who led the falcons to win the African Women’s Championsh­ip in Cameroon last year.

“The board approved the recommenda­tion of the technical and developmen­t committee for the appointmen­t of Mr. Randy Waldrum as Technical Adviser of the Super Falcons, and directed the Secretaria­t to immediatel­y conclude negotiatio­ns with Waldrum,” read in part a communiqué after the board meeting in Jos.

The 61-year-old Waldrum coaches Houston Dash as well as the women’s team of Trinidad and Tobago.

However, the board was silent on the appointmen­t of the other national team coaches.
