Why Bruno Labbadia made shocking u-turn on 37th Super Eagles role.
The Nigerian Football Federation has been dealt a huge blow following the failure to reach an agreement with German tactician Bruno Labbadia, who was already announced as the 37th Super Eagles head coach in August.
The 58-year-old former Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg boss accepted the advances of the NFF to succeed Finidi George. Unfortunately, the agreement has now broken down due to failure to reach a compromise over the payment of his taxes, thus rendering his announcement as the new head coach of the Super Eagles useless.
