Labbadia’s appointment is seen as a strategic move to inject fresh ideas and expertise into the Super Eagles, with the aim of improving the team’s performance in international competitions.

The German coach boasts an impressive CV, having won the DFB-Pokal with 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 1989-90 and the Bundesliga with FC Bayern Munich in 1993-94. He was also capped twice for the German national team.

Labbadia’s last managerial role was at VfB Stuttgart, where he honed his skills and developed a reputation as a good tactician.
