The Nigeria Football Federation have responded firmly to coach of the Super Falcons after the gaffer made some shocking revelations about the federation in a recent podcast.
The American coach, while speaking on the podcast revealed that his employers have never asked him how they can help him improve the team and achieve success. He also added that some players in the team are still being owed for over two years.
Randy Waldrum claims that the NFF are still owing him seven month wages. He revealed that he he would have left the team a long time ago but stayed back because of the players.
He also questioned how the federation, led by Ibrahim Musa Gusau utilised the $960,000 preparatory received from FIFA.
However, the NFF through its director of communications, Mr. Ademola Olajire labelled the coach as “Incompetent Loudmouth…” The Federation also called him the worse coach ever to have managed the Super Falcons.
“Incompetent loudmouth has now found his voice since he’s about to achieve his only ambition of leading a team at the Women’s World Cup. Everyone knows FIFA pays preparation money for every team going to the Women’s World Cup. The team travelled to Japan to play matches, travelled to Mexico for a tournament, and travelled to Turkey to play matches.”
“The team is presently having a 15-day training camp in Gold Coast ahead of the Women’s World Cup. Is it Mr. Blabbermouth Waldrum who has been paying? He claims he’s been at the job because of the players. Bollocks. His entire objective has always been to add leading a team at the World Cup to his CV. Worst coach to have handled the Super Falcons of Nigeria by a country mile.”
The back and forth between the NFF and coach Waldrum continues with about two weeks to the start of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
The Super Falcons will against Australia, Republic of Ireland and Canada in Group B.
