Sweden coach: I’m not good for Falcons

BY LUKMAN OLOGUNRO |

Nigeria’s hope of landing Sweden coach Pia Sundhage to handle the Super Falcons is getting fade by the day as the Swede declared she is “not good enough” to handle African champions.

Although the Super Falcons got their solitary point in Group D of the 2015 World Cup against Sundhage’s team in an exciting 3-3- draw, the Nigeria Football Federation is of the view that her technical depth will impact positively on the fortunes of women football in Nigeria.

Top officials of the NFF are considering Sundhage to take over the Falcons after they crashed without trace at the World Cup in Canada under the watch of Edwin Okon.

But after seeing her team pick three points from as many matches, scoring four goals and conceding four, former coach of the United States Sundhage noted that she may not be up to take up the chance to coach any Nigerian team right now.

“You know what, today I don’t think I am good enough to coach in Nigeria,” she stated.

Sundhage led her team to a six-goal thriller against Nigeria in their first group game before holding USA to a goalless draw and forcing Australia to a 1-1 draw in the final group game.

They would now have to await the outcome of matches in Groups E and F to know their fate at the World Cup.
