Bruno Labbadia Has Turned Down The Chance To Manage The Super Eagles Of Nigeria, Less Than Four Days After He Was Announced As The New Coach For The Eagles.
According To Naijanewsbox Correspondent, Labbadia, Who Was Supposed To Lead The Nigerian National Team To Their Next Matches Against Benin Republic And Rwanda In Coming Days, Has Now Turned Down The Chance To Manage The Team After The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Failed To Reach Agreement With The 58-Year-Old Before Making The Announcement.
Labbadia Said He Started Negotiation With NFF Last Weekend But The Hasty Announcement Is A Major Reason For His Pull Out.
Naijanewsbox Also Reported That The Offer From The NFF Was Also Attractive For Labbadia, Especially From A Sporting Perspective, But Both Parties Could Not Reach Agreement Due To Organizational Issues That Could Not Be Resolved In The Short Time Available.
However, Labbadia Was Earlier Expected To Be In Charge Of The Super Eagles For The 2025 Africa Cup Of Nations (AFCON) Qualifiers Against Benin Republic And Rwanda, But As It Stands, Technical Director, Augustine Eguavoen Might Just Take Charge.
