NFF free to fire me if I fail in France – Falcons Coach

Super Falcons head coach Thomas Dennerby has revealed that his employer, the Nigeria Football Federation is at liberty to sack him of his job if he fails to go beyond the first round of the Fifa Women’s World Cup billed for France in June.

Speaking to Sportinglife.ng in a chat, Dennerby said his mission is to be the best African team at the world cup as his performance can only be judged by his employers who have the final say either to retain him or ask him to go depending on the team’s outcome.

He said the first target is to come out of the group stage which comprises host nation France, South Korea, and Norway before thinking of advancing in the competition.

” My first target when I took over the job as the head coach of the Super Falcons is to qualify team for the world cup which I achieved. The second target was AWCON which we won and my third target now is to do well in France which I am working on with the players by engaging in international friendly matches to adequately expose the team before the competition begins in June. For me I can’t decide my fate whether to go or not depending on our outing but my employer because I didn’t engage myself”. Dennerby said.
