In the viral letter, the 67-year-old cited his wife’s “health issues” as the primary reason for his exit.“The Executive Committee also approved the Technical and Development Sub-Committee recommendation for Coach Justin Madugu to lead the remaining technical crew and take charge of the Senior Women National Team, Super Falcons, pending the appointment of a substantive Head Coach,” the statement reads.
He also managed the team to the 2023 Women’s World Cup in New Zealand and Australia. Nigeria drew Canada, defeated Australia, and held Ireland in the group stage to progress to the second round, where they lost to England on penalties.
