The former VfB Stuttgart coach takes charge of the Super Eagles with the brief to lead them to the 2026 World Cup.
It will be Labbadia's first move into international football.
The Nigerian FA announced today: "The Nigeria Football Federation has announced that it has reached an agreement with German tactician, Bruno Labbadia, to become the Head Coach of Nigeria's Senior Men National Team, Super Eagles."
Labbadia succeeds Finidi George, who stepped down after a disappointing start to Nigeria's World Cup qualifying campaign.

My beloved Nigeria and trial and error are like 5 and 6. For the sake of joy to the fans, we pray this new coach succeeds against the odds and corruption in the system.
