Nigeria<\/a>\u00a0women’s interim head coach Christopher Danjuma named Asisat Oshoala as the team’s new captain, replacing Desire Oparanozie who was appointed by the gaffer, Thomas Dennerby.<\/p>\n

This is coming just 24 hours after Sports Minister Sunday Dare waded into the saga between Dennerby and the Nigeria Football Federation after the\u00a0Swede threatened to quit due to interference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a series of tweets on the matter, Dare disclosed he is working to resolve the issues, having urged the NFF to allow Dennerby\u00a0to continue with his\u00a0Super Falcons’ job.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s female team.<\/p>\n
