Waldrum, on Wednesday signed his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation, as he started his work with the nine-time African champions.

Pinnick, affirmed the belief of the football-governing body in the ability of the 64 –year old to propel the Super Falcons to a higher level in women football’s global ranking.
“We believe that Mr Waldrum is the right man to take the Super Falcons from where the team presently is to that higher level that we want it to be. We have been champions of Africa on nine occasions and it is time that we move up to competing stoutly for honours at global level.”
General Secretary of the NFF, Dr Mohammed Sanusi signed on behalf of the NFF, with NFF Executive Member Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande, Chairman of the Women’s Football Committee, Hon. Ayo Hulayat Omidiran and Technical Director, Mr Augustine Eguavoen also present.
