Rena Wakama: D'Tigress coach named the best at Paris 2024 Olympics

There is news about Rena Wakama Head Coach of Nigeria's senior women's national basketball team known as D'Tigress.

Although D'Tigress did not make the final four, their head coach has been among the award winners.

After USA defeated France to win their eighth straight medal, FIBA announced the awards for the women's Paris 2024 Olympic basketball event.

D'Tigress has the most memorable performance by an African team in the history of the Olympic Basketball Tournament, and head coach Rene Wakama's guidance was a major factor in Nigeria's extraordinary campaign at Paris 2024.

Wakama, who is only 32 years old, has rightfully won the title of Best Coach after leading D'Tigress to numerous historic victories in Paris.

Nigeria's opening-day victory over Australia, their first-ever victory in a Group phase match, made opponents sit up and take notice.

A few days later, Nigeria surprised everyone by winning two games at the Games, making history as the first African team to do so.

This time, their resilient defense served as the foundation for their victory against Canada.

They became the first African team in history—men or women—to compete in the Olympic Quarterfinals after this earned them a spot in the knockout round.

They were ultimately defeated by the USA, which put a stop to their campaign, but not before they had demonstrated their perseverance and abilities.
