What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The former Nigeria international quit his role after NFF announced its plan to appoint a foreign technical adviser as head coach of the three-time African champions.

The decision came after an outcry by the football-loving populace following the team’s poor performances in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, including a shock defeat to Benin Republic.

Since Finidi’s exit, several names have been linked with the job, with former head coach of the France women’s national team, Herve Renard, and Swede Janne Andersson the two leading names for the vacant post.

Surprisingly, the NFF on Tuesday announced Labbadia, much to the disappointment of many football enthusiasts who queried the decision of the football body.

Aside from not previously coaching a national team, the 58-year-old, who boasts a wealth of experience in club football, having managed several German clubs since 2003, has not worked outside Germany prior to his appointment by Nigeria, which provoked questions by Nigerian football fans.
