Randy Waldrum: Why I’m resigning as Super Falcons coach

Randy Waldrum has announced his resignation as Head Coach of Nigeria’s Super Falcons, citing his wife’s health issues as the reason for his departure.

In a letter dated 12 September and addressed to the Nigeria Football Federation, Waldrum expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve, but emphasised the need to prioritise his family.

“It’s been a challenging few weeks since the Olympics, with my wife’s health issues weighing heavily on my mind. After careful consideration, I’ve decided to resign as Head Coach, allowing the NFF sufficient time to find a worthy successor for this exceptional team,” the letter read in part.
