The Association of Nigeria Women Football Club Coaches (ANWFCC) president, Hans Kraemer is set to end his tenure as supremo of the esteemed group, even as he wondered why youth national team coaches failed to turn up for their annual competition.
Sports247gathered that Kraemer’s two-term eight year tenure in charge of the highly resourceful women development outfit comes to an end this Sunday.
That would be a day after this year’s edition of their very popular flagship project, All Stars Women Football Competition comes to an end at Legacy Pitch of Lagos National Stadium, Surulere.
Kraemer said in a chat with Sports247 at the venue, “(My tenure) ends on Sunday, when we have a new election. I have done my two terms; which means eight years. So, on Sunday evening, I will not be president anymore, and I can sit on the bench.”
The female football zealot from Switzerland then took his mind back to the experience he went through in eight years at the helm of the association, as they embarked on several progressive ventures under his charge.
Kraemer added, “I think it was not bad, but I can not say it myself whether it was okay or not. We have done many things and taken some steps. Like we have registered with CAC as an association, we have a bank account, we have played all our matches this year on the Legacy Pitch, and we have changed so many things in the past eight years.”
He then hinted about what to expect at the final on Saturday, even as he sent out a veiled invitation to under-17 women’s team coach, Bankole Olowookere and his under-20 ally, Chris Danjuma to step forward and catch new talents for their respective squads.
“This is the 29th edition of All Stars. We started in 1997, and I came into it in 2001, but we hope to see more of it after the final on Saturday. The players, the coaches and the spectators are already excited with what they see. The whole environment will be fun on Saturday afternoon.
“Our biggest challenge, though, was how to finance this tournament. It cost many millions, of which getting it was a big challenge. One other thing that I don’t find positive is the fact that I have never seen the U17 or U20 female national team coaches here to spot talents.
“This is the place to be when you want to find raw talents. Even premier league clubs come here, and they seek talents,” Kraemer disclosed
