The Nigeria Football Federation have confirmed the appointment of former Houston Dash manager Randy Jordan Waldrum as the new Nigeria Women’s National Team coach. The Texas native had been in search of a new employer after he parted company with National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), Houston Dash, in May 2017. The Executive Committee of Nigeria Football Federation held a meeting at the Plateau State and one of the important issues discussed was the hiring of Waldrum.
‘‘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 Mr. Waldrum,” the NFF stated in a press release.
Meanwhile, the NFF decided that only the Super Eagles and the Falcons will henceforth be entitled to bonus payments per match.
“The committee reiterated that henceforth, only the Super Eagles and the Super Falcons will be entitled to bonus payments per match,” the NFF stated in a communique concerning bonuses.
“Players, coaches and backroom staff of other teams will earn daily allowances, approved bonuses at the end of successful qualifying campaigns and approved allowances (including daily allowances) at championships.”
The 61-year-old Waldrum, who was a midfielder during his playing career, previously managed Pittsburg State University, University of Tulsa, University of Notre Dame and Trinidad and Tobago (women) teams.
He coached Super Falcons defender Osinachi Ohale at Dash during the 2014 season.
