Randy Waldrum has got off to a winning start with the Super Falcons and his representative, Obinna Emelogu, has told SCORENigeria the African champions are on track to now becoming a top world beater.
The Falcons have won their opening two matches against CSKA Moscow and Uzbekistan in their maiden appearance at the invitational Turkish Women’s Cup.
Emelogu, who cut his teeth as an intermediary with the sensational transfer of Kenneth Omeruo to Premier League club Chelsea in 2012, has backed the experienced American coach to bring top value to the Super Falcons.
“Waldrum is committed to taking the Super Falcons beyond Africa and with the total support of his employers, the team will before long be holding their own against some of the best teams in the world,” USA-based Emelogu told SCORENigeria
“There is a lot of work ahead but this year will afford the coach the chance to know the team better and also expand the player pool so as to bring new energy.
“From his first outing with the team, he has already given debuts to Toni Payne and Patricia George.
“I believe many more deserving players will also get their chance to represent their country under this coach.”
The American coach himself has set a top-finish target at the World Cup for the team, saying the Falcons have the talent to achieve this.
Waldrum’s initial contract will run till October after which it is expected to be extended with a longer deal.
