The newly appointed Super Eagles coach, Bruno Labbadia, has turned down the job just three days after being unveiled by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).
This was disclosed in a report published by the German website Kicker on Friday.
NFF had announced Labbadia’s appointment on Tuesday, positioning him as the successor to Finidi George, who resigned in May.
“Bruno Labbadia will not be the new national coach of Nigeria. The 58-year-old German football coach had been negotiating with the Africans for a week and, according to information from kicker, decided against a contract on Friday,” the website cited.
