Well, this list sounds good to me but it seems that men are still dominating in the female side of it, l like the idea of appointing our old super eagles players to come into this game and show their past experiences. However, l would also like it more if our formal female players are given the same upper hand on the female side. Players like Nkiru Okosieme, Mercy Akide to mention but few, l believe are capable of doing this job. Meanwhile, I can't wait to see the actions of our newly appointed coaches. Go Nigeria! Go Super Eagles,!! Go Super Falcons!!! Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Well..Well..well I guess this is a good list indeed i would've prefered our super Falcons to be all woman coaches for a change..You feel me! Ann should have been the Chief coach assisted perhaps by Nkiru or Mercy Akide as Peace Imoh mentioned that should've been perfect! I like as you appointed the ex-super eagles players to take over the team... its awesome that means you really respect and appreciate their past accomplishments & exprience they aquired while playing abroad. i'm actually not against your list but rather suggesting in the future. Congrats to all the coaches appointed..Hope you guys will make us proud. I'm just Fan....Holla from USA!
