Rena Wakama, the Head coach of Nigeria’s senior women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, has been named the Best Female Basketball Coach at the Paris 2024 Olympics tournament.
“Best coach of #Paris2024 Women’s Basketball, Rene Wakama, Nigeria,” a tweet on the X handle of the International Basketball Federation read on Sunday evening.
Wakama, 32, guided the female basketball team to their first-ever quarterfinals of the Olympic games when they beat Canada 79-70.
However, their journey at the Olympics was cut short when they lost to the eventual winners — United States, by 88-74 in the quarterfinals of the women’s basketball event.
