Uche In US To Upgrade Credentials

Former coach of Nigeria’s Super Falcons, Eucharia Uche, has left the country for America to attend a US Soccer Federation ‘A’ licence coaching course.

Uche holds the US Soccer Federation license ‘B’ and is expected back home later in January.

The former Nigerian striker was relieved of her Falcons job after she failed to qualify Nigeria for the female football event of the 2012 London Olympic Games.

She hopes to return to her post when the NFF announces coaches for the women national team.

Uche said that she wants to be atop of her chosen profession hence the need to upgrade herself with latest information in the sector.

“My desire is to get to the top of my profession so as to be able to compete better in the world and among the world’s elite coaches in future.

“Hence the need to keep studying and updating myself with the current development,” she told SuperSport.com.

The FIFA instructor further disclosed that she is hopeful of returning to her duty post whenever NFF names the coaches for the Falcons.

“I am hopeful of being named the Super Falcons coach. People may have their views about me and my performance as the Falcons coach but nobody will deny me the honour of having led the team to win gold in South Africa 2010 African Women Championship, among others,” she said.
