It is an open secret that the NFF is favorably disposed to naming a foreign coach for the Super Falcons
The cloud is thick with expectations as Nigerian football fans patiently await the appointment of a new head coach for the country’s arguably most successful national team,Indeed, no ship can survive the storm or get to its destination without the help of an experienced and well-skilled captain on board to steady it through.
Rues was first contacted by chieftains of the NFF in 2015 to handle the Super Falcons after a dismal outing at the World Cup. Both parties, however, failed to reach an agreement over salaries and technical issues. NFF should expect to see a woman who is ready to cross the line and push as hard as possible in a bid to get what she wants from both the players and the federation.
The former USA U-23 national team coach is in his third season as the coach of St. Pittsburgh side where he oversaw a marked improvement from the team in 2019 with the team finishing 10th in the ACC standings. His attitude angered most NFF bigwigs who pleaded with the Swedish tactician to stay on with the team but Dennerby opted to accept a juicy India U-17 job. He then rubbed it in by appointing former Super Falcons goalkeeper, Precious Dede, to work as India U-17goalkeeper’s trainer.
Dennerby has his camp within NFF and in a country where anything is possible, his return is a matter of never say never should he choose to return.A member of the all-conquering 1998 Super Falcons, Omagbemi etched her name in the history book as the first woman coach to win AWC trophy as a player and coach. Nigeria saw off threats from Cameroon to emerge African champions for a record eight times in 2016.
But she is willing to give it a try with the team she once played for. According to her, the best way to give back to Nigeria is to serve as national team coach
