NFF appoints former Bayer Leverkusen manager as Super Eagles coach
After months of anxious wait, since Finidi George resigned, the NFF has announced a foreign manager to lead the Super Eagles.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has appointed German tactician Bruno Labbadia as the new Head Coach of the Super Eagles.
The German has big shoes to fill after the departure of Finidi George, who resigned from his position just two games into his tenure following a disastrous start to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
Announcing the appointment, NFF General Secretary Dr. Mohammed stated that the NFF Executive Committee approved the recommendation of its Technical and Development Sub-Committee.
“The NFF Executive Committee has approved the recommendation of its Technical and Development Sub-Committee to appoint Mr. Bruno Labbadia as the Head Coach of the Super Eagles. The appointment is with immediate effect,” he said.
