Justin Madugu will take charge of the Super Falcons pending the appointment of a substantive head coach, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced on Thursday.
The NFF took the decision following the recommendation of its Technical and Development Sub-Committee.
Former handler of the team Randy Waldrum resigned from the post this month.
Waldrum cited his wife’s “health issues” as reason for his action.
Madugu was one of the assistants to the former Jamaica coach.
He will work together with other technical crew members.
The Super Falcons’ next big engagement is the Women Africa Cup of Nations finals, taking place in Morocco in the summer of next year.
