Nigeria Football Federation has named former head coach of Flamingoes, Peter Dedevbo as Head Coach of Falconets.
Dedevbo was an Assistant Coach of the first-ever Flamingoes, which featured at the inaugural FIFA Under 17 Women’s World Cup finals in New Zealand in 2008.
He was later appointed Head Coach of the team and led the girls to quarter final berths in Trinidad and Tobago in 2010 and Azerbaijan in 2012.
He will be assisted by Toyin Ayinla, a former Captain and defensive stalwart of Abiola Babes FC of Abeokuta while Haruna Uche is the goalkeeper trainer.
Already, Dedevbo has invited to camp 30 players for screening as the race for the FIFA Under 20 Women’s World Cup finals in Canada in August 2014, gets underway this month.
Nigeria’s Falconets, runners-up at the World Cup in Germany in 2010 and semi finalists in Japan in 2012, are up against the Under 20 Women’s Team of Burkina Faso in the African first round fixtures, with the first leg coming up in Nigeria in the last weekend of this month.
Dedevbo and crew will open their camp in Abuja on Monday.
