Osinachi Marvis Ohale is a Nigerian footballer who plays for Vittsjö GIK in Sweden and in the Nigeria women's national football team.
Club career
She played for Houston Dash in the National Women's Soccer League.
International career
She represented Nigeria in the African Women's Championship tournaments of 2010, 2014 and 2016 winning all three of them.
She was also on the Nigerian squads of the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2011 and 2015.
The 52-year-old, who became the first Nigerian to lead the side into the second round at a World Cup, is attracting the interest of other countries.
He becomes the sixth manager to leave his job during the World Cup, following the departures of Honduras's Luis Suarez, Iran's Carlos Queiroz, Japan's Alberto Zaccheroni, Italy's Cesare Prandelli and Ivory Coast's Sabri Lamouchi.
Keshi, who captained Nigeria at the 1994 World Cup finals, was previously in charge of Mali and Togo.

The former Dutch football-star, Ruud Gullit, hopes a team from Africa will perform well and prove to be the surprise package at the World Cup in Brazil.
The United States completed their World Cup preparations with victory over Nigeria.
Keshi feels these games have given him and his players an insight into what lies ahead. "All I need is the mentality and discipline to dominate the game and take chances," he added. "In friendlies you can correct your mistakes but in a tournament it can cost us dearly.
