Minister of Youth and Sports Sunday Dare has waded in the crisis between the Nigeria Football Federation and Super Falcons head coach, Thomas Dennerby, Completesports.com reports.
There were reports that the Swede had threatened to resign from his position over several issues that have boiled over in recent weeks.
The 60-year-old was said to have returned to his home country after his team defeated Algeria 1-0 in the Olympics qualifiers and has failed to return.
The coach reportedly complained about the decision of the NFF to allow some of his players feature at the African Games in Egypt last month without informing him.
“I have personally stepped into the matter of Thomas Dennerby, the coach of Super Falcons. I received a brief this morning and will proceed to seek a quick resolution to ensure he continues to Coach Nigeria’s female team,” he tweeted.
”An hour ago I had a constructive conversation on the telephone with Super Falcons Coach Dennerby in Sweden. I have also spoken with the NFF leadership. We are working to resolve the issues in the interest of football development.”

Selfish FA officials and their continual interference in National team affairs…! That is what they have tried to do in the SE in these last few years but have been unable to…..reason why they have been sponsoring media campaigns against the Coach.
Very true @ Drey. Those soured ugly looking faces officials only think of food, food, food. Reason their stinking pot belly don’t understand the word RELAX. They will sponsor all kinds of lies, in d process destroying everything good just put food in those dump yard bellies. Shameless people still in the pre modern mentality.
This is why I loved coach Dennerby. He doesn’t take nonsense. He is like Amarachi. This is what Nigeria needs in government.
I really love this coach and I hope he continue his work. This is the best coach for Super Falcons.
