Nigeria sack Super Falcons coach Madugu after World Cup qualification failure

The Nigeria Football Federation has dismissed Super Falcons head coach Justine Madugu and his entire technical staff with immediate effect. The move follows Nigeria's failure to qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup — the first time the Super Falcons have missed the tournament — and their exit from WAFCON. Nigeria's Women's World Cup absence marks a historic low point for one of Africa's most prominent women's football programmes.
