The coach in another interview also accused the NFF of owing players bonuses for up to two years.

The contract of both Waldrum and the head coach of the Super Eagles Jose Peseiro have expired but there is a vote of confidence for Peseiro, however, NFF boss, Ibrahim Gusau, in an interview with foremost sports journalist Mitchell Obi has hinted that the federation are in a lookout for a new manager.

“When the contract of the coach expires, we have to allow the Technical Committee to do their job and make a proper recommendation.

“Next month, the Super Falcons will play in the Olympic Qualifiers and before that time we must have decided on who will be the coach.”
