Phillips Consulting to recruit coaches for Falcons, others

The Nigeria Football Federation President, Amaju Pinnick, says Phillips Consulting has been given the contract to recruit coaches for the Super Falcons and the youth teams (U-23, U-20 and the U-17), The Punch reports.

The Falcons have been without a coach since Thomas Dennerby resigned over a year ago over alleged unfulfilled contractual obligations despite having a year left on his contract.

“With regards to a coach for the Super Falcons, Africa’s biggest female football team, Phillips Consulting, in charge of the recruitment process, are putting finishing touches to it and a coach will be announced soon,” Pinnick wrote on Twitter.

“This also applies to coaches for the different cadres of our national teams. I’d like to ask that you tarry with us a while.”

Pinnick had earlier stated that the federation was doing everything possible to ensure the Falcons got a manager that could keep them top of African football.
