The Super Falcons are set to have a new coach and technical crew before their 2028 Olympic qualifying campaign begins in October, according to National Sports Commission Director-General Bukola Olopade.
The development comes after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) asked Justine Madugu and his entire technical crew to step down following Nigeriaβs disappointing WAFCON campaign and subsequent failure to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Womenβs World Cup.
Nigeriaβs first Olympic qualifying assignment is against Comoros, with the two-legged tie scheduled for October 5β13, 2026.
With the Olympic qualifiers fast approaching, the NFF now has very little time to make the right appointment. This time, Nigeria needs a coach with a clear tactical philosophy, strong technical competence and the capacity to get the best out of the wealth of talent available to the Falcons.
