American coach, Randy Waldrum has resigned as the coach of the Super Falcons.

His resignation was contained in a letter dated September 12. The 67-year old cited health issues of wife as the reason he’s resigning from the job.

“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.(The Nation)
