Former Super Falcons Coach, Godwin Izilien, has urged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to stop the search for foreign coaches for the senior women national team.
He believes that hiring an indigenous coach for the Falcons would reduce the financial burden on the federation now that COVID-19 has affected the economy of the country.
Izilien wondered why the NFF would be going for a foreign coach for the Falcons when Nigerian coaches had been successful with the team in different competitions over the years
He said..
“I don’t know why the NFF is still focused on getting a foreign coach for the Super Falcons. We have quality coaches in Nigeria that can build the team. Spending money to hire a foreign coach at this COVID-19 period, where the economy is not friendly is not necessary.
