Officials informed MTNFootball.com that embattled Falcons coach, Eucharia Uche, has been saved the bullet, but with serious warning to brace up for the challenges ahead.

The Falcons coach was the main talking point when the technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) met in Abuja on Thursday.

“We did not eventually get to meet with her, but we have agreed that some of us will still meet her before the team leave the country early next week,” a top technical committee member disclosed.

“She has to wake up to her responsibilities or else she will only have herself to blame for whatever befalls her.”

A stay of execution for the Falcons handler was mainly because the World Cup is around the corner, it was further learnt.

The team’s performance at the World Cup in Germany will determine her future with the team.

Nigeria are drawn in a tough first round group against hosts and defending champions Germany, France and Canada.

They kick off their World Cup campaign against France on June 26.
