Nigeria, Justine Madugu and the Nigeria Football Federation
Monday
The Nigeria Football Federation has dismissed Super Falcons coach Justine Madugu and his entire technical staff with immediate effect. The decision follows Nigeria failing to qualify for the Women’s World Cup for the first time since the tournament began in 1991.
Nigeria missed the WAFCON semi-finals and then lost the playoff for an intercontinental World Cup route. The federation has also created a fact-finding committee with a two-week deadline to investigate the national team’s failure and wider recent performance problems.
