The 32-year old guided Nigeria to a historical quarter-finals spot in Paris which is the first time an African team (both men and women) reach that level of the competition.
Despite losing 74-88 to Team USA, Rena Wakama’s leadership and coaching system caught the eyes of FIBA officials who voted him as Paris 2024 best female coach.
This is a major achievement for Wakama who is doing great things with D’Tigress.
She showed carachter and calmness when it was needed throughout Nigeria’s journey and announced herself to the world.
FIRST TO EVER DO IT 👏
