The Super Falcons have been without a coach since September last year and the striker was elated by the American's appointment
Francisca Ordega has backed Randy Wandrum to succeed as Nigeria's women team coach, conceding the wait for his engagement took longer than expected.
The Super Falcons had gone without a substantive tactician for more a year since the resignation of Thomas Dennerby in September 2019.
But early in October, Waldrum, who previously handled Trinidad and Tobago, as well as the US U23 national team, was named as Dennerby's replacement by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
