The deputy chairman of the house committee of sport and the former Nigeria national team coordinator, Ayo Omidiran told sportdiva.net that Florence Omagbemi should be considered for the Falcons job.
Ms Omidiran explained that during her
tenure as the chairman for women football development in Nigeria there were few
female coaches that are qualified for the job but things has really changed
today, she said ‘When I was the chairman for women football development we had only
male coaches we didn’t push for a woman technical crew because of their level
of experience’
She said further that ‘now things are
different, we have a lot of them (Female Coaches)’
When sportdiva.net asked her to nominate a qualified
female coach in Nigeria, Honourable Ayo Omidiran said ‘I have worked with
Florence Omagbemi during the U20 female national team camping I saw her work
and I think certainly she’s capable of handling the female national team as the
head coach’
‘that’s not say others are not qualified
compare to the others that I have seen that worked and I have seen also the way
the girls reacted and relate to her, they listen to her and they bond well’
She quickly defends her statement by
handling all decisions over to the Nigeria football federation. She said ‘however
the decision to choose a coach depends squarely on the Nigeria football
federations technical committee let’s see how things work out’ she concluded
The Nigeria Football Federation will soon
announce the names of the head coach and assistants of the super falcons.
Former head coach, Kadiri Ikhana resigned
after his failure to play at the semi-finals of the last African women championship
in Equatorial Guinea.
