The Chairperson
of the Nigeria Women League Board, Mrs Dilichukwu Onyedinma has described the
death of former Super Falcons Head Coach Joseph Ladipo (Jossy Lad) as “one
death, too many.”
Mrs. Onyedinma
said that the death of the Coach is coming barely few days after that of a
former Falconets assistant coach, Christopher Nwaehi.
“This is
another painful lost, considering the fact that we have just lost one of our
upcoming vibrant young coaches, Christopher Nwaehi few days ago. Now we are
losing another coach, Joseph Ladipo popularly called “Jossy Lad” who
contributed positively to the development of women football in the country.

“A complete
gentleman, whose contributions as a player and coach can never be forgotten
easily in the country. We all know his impact as a player of the then IICC
Shooting stars of Ibadan, and coach of Leventis United of Ibadan, a team he
brought to limelight by winning the National Challenge cup while playing in the
lower division of the national league.
“He also made
remarkable impact with the Super Falcons at the Africa Women Championship. We
would remember him for his fatherly role and technical abilities. We pray that
God in his infinite mercies should grant his family the fortitude to bear the
lost” she concluded.
Coach Jossy Lad
who had been bedridden for some months, died in Ibadan, Oyo state on
Thursday.
