Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Super Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum faces an uncertain future following the team\u2019s dismissal showing at the 2022 Africa Women\u2019s Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

The Super Falcons lost their crown at the competition finishing in the fourth position.<\/p>\n

The West Africans won three and lost three of their six matches in Morocco.<\/p>\n

The nine-time African champions, however, secured a spot at the 2023 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n

There were calls for the Americans to be sacked after the competition.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has now directed its Technical and Development Sub-Committee to hold a meeting and make recommendations on how to reposition the team before the World Cup billed for Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

The directive was contained in a communique of the NFF Executive Committee Annual General Assembly (AGA) held in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Waldrum was appointed head coach of the Super Falcons on October 5, 2020, barely three years after turning down the role.<\/p>\n
