Randy Waldrum finally explained the reason he was able to keep his job as the head coach of American Soccer team Pittsburgh, before accepting Super Falcons coaching role.

Waldrum was appointed in 2019 to manage the Super Falcons, but the Nigeria failed to disclosed terms in his contract.

The American however appears to be managing the on part time basis as he only jets into the country few days before matches.

Waldrum has since fallen out with the Federation and in his recent interview with “On The Whistle” podcast, he explained what led to him managing both teams simultaneously and how his relationship with the FA deteriorated.

“I came to Pittsburgh in 2018, when Pinnick Amaju wanted to hire me for Nigeria, back then. But the communication was so poor. I think it even came out in the media that I was hired in Nigeria. And yet, nobody from Nigeria had ever talked to me.

“So I kept waiting. This was around September of 2018, I went from September to November, never hearing a word, and me trying to contact Pinnick and never getting a response. And then the job from Pittsburgh came along. And I said “I gotta do something,” so I took it.

“Then he (Pinnick) called and said don’t take the job. And I said ‘No, it’s too late, I’ve made this commitment.’ Then Thomas Dennerby took over and took them to that FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2019. And after Thomas left, Nigeria called back.

“I had studied Nigeria and knew all the horror stories, about them not paying coaches and stuff. I told them the only way I was going to do it was if I could keep my position at Pittsburgh, I had a great athletic director at Pittsburgh that allowed me to do both,” He said.
