Randy Waldrum has resigned as the coach of the Super Falcons after heading the team for four years.

His resignation was contained in a letter dated September 12.

The letter cited health issues of wife as the major reason for his resigning from the job.
The letter read in part: “It’s been a very difficult few weeks following the Olympics, with my wife’s health issues, and the worries that obviously come with that. After much thought and consideration, I am hereby resigning my position as Head Coach of the Super Falcons. 

"This will allow the NFF ample time to find the next manager to take over this incredible squad.” 

Waldrum, who assumed the role of Falcons head coach in 2020, guided the team to the semi-finals of the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.

He also led the record-breaking African champions to an impressive performance at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where they captivated fans before being narrowly eliminated by England on penalties in the round of 16.
