The Super Falcons of Nigeria have arrived in the country after their second-round finish at the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup in New Zealand and Australia.
They arrived in Lagos from Australia on Wednesday at Murtala Muhammed Airport without Head Coach Randy Waldrum, who left the camp on Tuesday and returned to his base in the United States.
His contract expires after the World Cup, and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has yet to make any comment on extending the deal with the American manager.
Before the tournament, the American coach disagreed with the NFF over finances, but despite the off-the-field issues, Waldrum has remained steadfast, emphasizing his pride in the team’s accomplishments, and a strong desire to lead them to qualify for the next Olympic Games.
