NFF confirms resignation of Dennerby as Super Falcons head coach

By Bimbo Ogunnaike

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has confirmed the resignation of Thomas  Dennerby as Super Falcons head coach.

Dennerby resigned from his post after the Super Falcons failed to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics,  after playing 1-1 draw at home with the Ivory Coast in the second leg qualifiers at the Agege Stadium on Monday.

Confirming the development in a tweet on their official Twitter page on Friday, NFF said it had  received Dennerby’s  resignation letter, noting that the coach has a right to resign from a job.

“We want to put it on record that no Head Coach in the history of the Super Falcons has been afforded the level and readiness of support that has been provided Mr. Dennerby by this Board,” the FA body said.

”Perhaps, one of the reasons he left was because we did not accede to his request to bring in more expatriate coaches and an indigenous coach who do not have the required license. If we had agreed to his request for more expatriate coaches, that would have left our indigenous coaches presently with the team in the lurch,” NFF added.
