The deal between the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the new Super Eagles Coach Bruno Labbadia have been aborted.

The NFF had earlier announced last Tuesday that it had reached an agreement with German tactician, Labbadia to become the Head Coach of the Super Eagles.

However, a statement by NFF’s Director of Communications, Ademola Olajire, quoted the NFF President, Musa Gusau as explaining that stringent regulations of German tax authorities had conspired to abort the agreement between the NFF and Coach Labbadia.

Gusau added that with the latest development, Technical Director of Nigeria Football Federation, Coach Augustine Eguavoen will now take charge of the Super Eagles for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Benin Republic in  Uyo, Sept. 7 and Kigali, Rwanda Kigali, on Sept. 10.
