Former Super Falcons coach Eucharia Uche cries out after going three years without pay

Head coach of Heartland Queens, Eucharia Uche, says she is yet to receive any salary since she was appointed three years ago by the Imo state government.

Uche was the first woman to win the African Women's Cup of Nations as a player and coach in 2010, with Nigeria and later led the Super Falcons to the 2011 Women's World Cup in Germany.

The former Super Falcons coach joined the Nigeria Women's Premier League (NWPL) outfit in 2017 from now-defunct COD United Ladies, following the disbandment of the Lagos team.
