Randy Waldrum resigns as Super Falcons coach, give reasons

American coach Randy Waldrum has officially resigned from his position as the head coach of Nigeria’s Super Falcons.

In a letter dated September 12, the 67-year-old cited his wife’s health issues as the primary reason for stepping down from the role.

Waldrum’s resignation marks the end of his tenure with the team, which has seen notable achievements under his leadership.

“It’s been a very difficult few weeks following the Olympics, with my wife’s health issues, and the worries that obviously come with that. After much thought and consideration.

” I am hereby resigning my position as Head Coach of the Super Falcons. This will allow the NFF ample time to find the next manager to take over this incredible squad.” The letter reads.

Waldrum, who took over as the Falcons coach in 2020 led the Falcons to the semi-finals of the 2022 WAFCON in Morocco and the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where the record African champions dazzled before bowing out on penalties to England in the round of 16.
