Shanghai winger Ordega explains why she prefers a foreign coach for Super Falcons

The Nigerian football body is in search of a substantive coach for the women's team since the exit of Thomas Dennerby

Shanghai Shenhua winger Francisca Ordega has disclosed that she will prefer a foreign coach to handle the Nigerian senior women's national team.

The 26-year-old helped Nigeria to African Women's Cup of Nations success in 2018 in Ghana and the Women's World Cup Round of 16 last year in France under the tutelage of Thomas Dennerby.

Since the exit of Dennerby last September, the Super Falcons have been without a substantive coach - a vacuum that needs to be filled as they seek to defend their African title later this year.
