The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced the appointment of Coach Justin Madugu as the interim head coach of the Senior Women National Team, Super Falcons.
Justin MaduguMadugu succeeds Randy Waldrum, who resigned recently due to family reasons.
Waldrum, who led the Super Falcons for four years, achieved notable milestones, including guiding the team to a Round of 16 finish at the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia/New Zealand and securing qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France – a feat last accomplished in 2008.
In his resignation letter dated 12 September, Waldrum expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve Nigeria and emphasised the need to prioritise his family.
Madugu faces the daunting task of building on Waldrum’s success, starting with the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco next summer.
Eguavoen continues with Super Eagles
Meanwhile, the NFF has also retained Coach Augustine Eguavoen to continue as the Head Coach of the Super Eagles.
Eguavoen, 58, will lead the team in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Libya next month.
