German Football Manager Rejects Offer as Super Eagles Coach

 A few days after the announcement of an appointment of a new Super Eagles Coach by The NFF, the German football manager revealed to be taking up the role, has turned down the offer. According to sources, despite the settlement of financial terms between the NFF and Herr Labbadia, the German rejected the position of 37th Head Coach as a result of unresolved organisational details. Reports further alleged the NFF's announcement of Labbadia's appointment premature because the football manager had yet to give a formal commitment or sign a binding contract.

Bruno Labbadia's rejection of the role as Super Eagles Coach comes one month after the abrupt resignation of former Head Coach, Finidi George and barely two weeks before The AFCON qualifiers slated to commence on 11th September. In light of the abrupt end of negotiations with Bruno Labbadi,  Football manager and three time manager of The Nigeria Football Team, Austin Eguavoen, has been temporarily appointed Head Coach. Eguavoen was a member of the Nigeria national team squad that qualified for the country's first ever World Cup in 1994, and won the African Nations Cup in the same year.
