Former head coach of the Super Eagles, Adegboye Onigbinde has disclosed that only the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) can explain why Bruno Labbadia was appointed to manage the senior national team.
Recall that the German tactician was named to take over from Finidi George on Tuesday morning.
Labbadia is a German football manager and former player. He played as a striker for several clubs, including Bayern Munich, Hamburg, and Cologne, and earned two caps for the Germany national team.

However, in a chat with Completesports.com, Onigbinde stated that the issue with Nigeria football is not technical administrative but an internal problem.
“It is only the people that took the decision can best explain why Labbadia was appointed as Super Eagles head coach.
” Like I always tell you, the problem of Nigerian football is not technical administrative. No matter how good a coach is, if the administration of the game is not in order then there is a problem.
“Haven’t we have array of great talents in the Super Eagles? What has been the result? Mind you, the first time I handle the Super Eagles, I had a pack of young players. So it’s not a matter of having an array of talents.”

IT IS A VERY SIMPLE ANSWER.
AS A COACH THAT DOESN’T KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT AFRICAN FOOTBALL, CULTURE, PATTERN, ENVIRONMENT, HE WAS PURPOSELY EMPLOY SO THAT IT WILL BE VERY EASY TO BE BRAINWASH, DECIEVE, CONTROL AND PUSHING OVER UP & DOWN BY MANAGEMENT.
### BUT MY ADVICE FOR BRUNO LABADIA IS THAT HE SHOULD QUICKLY CONSULT BERTI VOGT. AND GERNOT ROHR TO KNOW HOW HE CAN QUICKLY COPE, ADAPT TO AFRICAN STYLE OF PLAY, PATTERN, CULTURE AND MOSTLY THE TRICKY, MANIPULATION, DUBIOUS, SENTIMENT OF NFF.
IF NOT HE WILL FAIL WOEFULLY PAST ANY OTHER COACHES IN NIGERIA.
And you think genort Rohr will give first class information of advice knowing fully well they’re on the group both nations cup and world cup qualifier
This is very disrespectful to Nigerians kę.
As nation, NFF board members were chosen to serve us.
You are serving us and we did not hear or know the coach you just hired. All we are seeing now is the announcement of the new coach, Hmmm. What does that mean? Nigerians are nothing right?
Does the coach ever coach any team in Africa?
Does he know our players well?
How many years contract did NFF signed with this coach?
Those in power should remember one thing in life. “No long thing”.
Where is Isa Ayatu today?
Where is Abacha today?
Where is Buhari and Obasanjọ?
