The Nigerian Football Association went public with a statement on Tuesday via X and announced the agreement with the former goalscorer. ” Bruno Labbadia will be the 37th head coach of the Super Eagles.
The Nigerian Football Association announces that it has agreed with the German coach on the position of head coach for the senior national team.” A hasty tweet. Because: On Monday, the coach and the association bosses had largely reached agreement on the key financial details, but organizational questions were still open.

Before him, the Germans Gernot Rohr, Uli Stielike, Otto Pfister, Winfried Schäfer and former national coach Berti Vogts had already coached the Super Eagles. The Hamburg-based coach was thus to continue a certain tradition and take up his post on Sunday and lead Nigeria to the 2026 World Cup.
In the qualification, the team is only in fifth place in Group C after only three points from four games. The talks about a commitment began last weekend and were initially very productive – but the commitment or even a signature from the coach, as reported by the association, never came.
Offer seemed extremely attractive from a sporting perspective
Labbadia, who has a reputation in the Bundesliga as a man for particularly difficult cases after successful rescue missions at Hamburger SV, VfL Wolfsburg and Hertha BSC, among others, was attracted by the challenging task in Nigeria.
After leaving VfB Stuttgart in spring 2023, he initially withdrew from the football business and deliberately sought distance. After receiving various inquiries, the latest offer seemed extremely attractive, especially from a sporting perspective, but the collaboration ultimately failed due to organizational issues that could not be resolved in the short time available.
Labbadia, however, has not yet given up on his dream of taking over a national team.
