Deutsche Trainer-Überraschung! Bruno Labbadia übernimmt Nigerian Nationalmannschaft

Bruno Labbadia has a new job: The German trainer is an übernimmt of the Nationalmannschaft Nigerias in Africa.

Abuja (Nigeria) – That’s what no one comes to see! Bruno Labbadia (58), with the Klub since 2023, takes over as Nigeria’s national trainer. Für den Deutschen is nothing more than the first Station außerhalb des Club soccer ballswithout further ado in your homeland.

From April 2023, if there is a new company at VfB Stuttgart, aged 58 without a job, new Arbeitgeber financing will be created.

Whoever has the Nigerian football association NFF is the highest service of tomorrow, while Labbadia lasts so long as National coach of “Super Eagles” that his first Einsatz on the Coach’s bench of the West African sparrow does not last long.

On 7 September there will be a qualifying match against Benin for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and on 10 September Labbadias new Team will play against Rwanda.

The highest level of concern is that qualification for the 2026 World Cup has been achieved: After four of the six competitions, Nigeria is still in the Qualifying Group of the Time without a title, only in the fifth rank, a tournament in North America is possible, but the biggest place is there.

The mission, to build a team out of the doldrums, is not new for Labbadia: at several German clubs the 58-year-old Feuerwehrmann is remembered, while HSV and Hertha BSC are waiting for retirement.

With the German trainer that the West African country has, it is good that the Darmstadt is the German and the Seitenlinie of the three evil Afrikameesters.

Zuletzt guided Gernot Rohr (71) to the 2018 World Cup in and through Nigeria from 2016 to 2021, and coached Berti Vogts (77) during the Super Eagles in 2007 and 2008.

Labbadia himself is involved in his engagement in Africa völliges Neuland. If a player or coach is war, the Deutschlands is active, now wechselt is gar den Kontinent.
