FALCONS NEW COACHES
The Nigeria Football Federation has signed an agreement with top Swedish football coach, Thomas Dennerby, to take the role of Head Coach of eight –time African champions, Super Falcons. The contract also enables Dennerby to come into the job with an assistant, Mr. Jorgen Petersson, another highly experienced Swedish coach nominated by Dennerby himself.
Dennerby, who spent nine years with Hammarby IF of Allsvesnkan and played in the European Cup in 1983 and 1985, won 34 caps for Swedish junior teams between 1975 and 1981. He coached the Swedish Women’s Senior Team between 2005 and 2012, during which the team played at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and the 2007 and 2011 FIFA World Cup finals, winning bronze at the latter tournament. He also served time as youth coach for Stockholm FA and worked in various capacities for former club Hammarby between 1993 and 2001.
More recently, he did scouting and analyses for the Swedish FA at the 2013 and 2017 European Championships, the 2016 Olympics and the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.
Petersson has worked with several top Swedish clubs including Moheda IF, Osters IF, Vaxjo, Alvesta Golf, IFK Varmamo, Malmo FF, Kalmar FF and Linkopings FC, was assistant coach of the Swedish U23 women team between 2006-2012 and scouted for the Swedish women national team at last year’s European Championship.
The appointment is in line with the pledge made by NFF President Amaju Pinnick to get a world –class coach to take the Super Falcons and other women national teams to the next level (of competing creditably and for laurels at global championships), and who would also work assiduously with the Federation to ensure robust development of women football in Nigeria. Pinnick expressed delight that the process had gone smoothly and assured the coaches of a conducive working environment to achieve the set milestones.
“The NFF decided to go for a coach of the calibre of Thomas Dennerby for three reasons: to sustain and enhance the Super Falcons’ dominance on the African scene; to take the Falcons and the other women teams to the next level of challenging for laurels at global competitions like the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup and; to generally lay the foundation for the real development of women’s football in our country,” Shehu Dikko, NFF 2nd Vice President/Chairman of Strategy, told thenff.com.
Dikko added: “Dennerby will live in Nigeria most of the time and support the other women teams whenever he has the time. The contract is until the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo in the initial, with the right for automatic renewal subject to meeting performance milestones as agreed. He will be in Nigeria very soon for the public unveiling.
“The NFF Technical and Development Committee has already shortlisted three Nigerians to work with Messrs Dennerby and Petersson as assistant coaches and goalkeeper trainer. These three will resume work soon to start preparing the team for the upcoming WAFU Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire pending the resumption of Dennerby and Petersson.”
The three coaches who will work with Dennerby and Petersson will be announced soon.

Re: NFF Announce Coaches for Falcons.......
Looks like Pinnick learnt his lesson and provided video evidence that the guy actually signed up to coach the SF.
Good move on the part of Pinnick in landing the new coach.

Re: NFF Announce Coaches for Falcons.......
Next:
Enter the Falcons into competitions (besides the paltry number of competitions organised by FIFA/CAF) & organise friendlies
Have an active calendar for domestic female football
Little point contracting a "world-class coach" and saddle the guy with inactive players...

Re: NFF Announce Coaches for Falcons.......
There's the WAFU Women's cup in February and then the Friendly against France shortly thereafter. There is also the 2018 African Women’s Nations Cup in Ghana later this year and its qualifiers, as well the 2019 Women’s World Cup qualifiers.
Our ladies have a packed schedule as it is.

Re: NFF Announce Coaches for Falcons.......
I think even though the girls are under the radar at the moment, the core members of the Falcons team are all doing pretty well.nemi2002 wrote:So we should win the world cup. Ogolo wey you dey
Oshoala in China, Oparanozie in France, Ordega has just moved to Athletico Madrid and Okobi has just transferred to a top Swedish side.
The new coach should be excited at the prospects

This coach last coached in 2013 and has been doing scouting since. His record with the Swedish team is patchy at best.
