Former Super Falcons head coach Randy Waldrum is rooting for the team to win the title at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Waldrum led the Super Falcons to the last edition of the biennial competition where they finished in fourth position.
The American however believed they have the quality to a win a record -extending tenth title this time around.
“I think the players are good enough on their own that they can win it. I think there’s enough talent there based off what was built from the World Cup and the Olympics,” Waldrum said in an interview with EaglesTracker.

“Those players will find a way to get the result because they’re hungry to go regain the title.
“I think they can do that in spite of the coaching because I don’t think that’s there and I don’t think it’s at the level it needs to be to help you win on the World stage but I think the player’s talent is enough.”
The Super Falcons are drawn in Group B with Tunisia, Botswana and Algeria.
Justine Madugu’s side will open their campaign against Tunisia in Casablanca on Sunday, 6 July.

Hahaha!
Was it Randy Waldrum who made this statement or Dr Drey?
That was a below-the-belt punch by Waldrum aimed at Madugu. Waldrum doesn’t pull punches when assessing Nigeria’s women coach. He considers them kindergarten.
Waldrum is basically saying if the SF manages to win the trophy, it would be down to the avalanche of talent in the team and the sheer grit of the players, and nothing to do with technical input from the bench. Ouch.
But come to think of it. NFF went the whole nine yards to get a gaffer for the SE, but decided to slack with SF. Yet they claim they want to do Mission X.
My brother ,. Im short of words ..Honestly im not a fan of Waldrum because of the defensive pattern of play. We should support the New Coach who I think plays more attacking and has already got some good records so far.
