In a statement, NFF general secretary Mohammed Sanusi said, “The NFF Executive Committee has approved the recommendation of its Technical and Development Sub-Committee to appoint Bruno Labbadia as the head coach of the Super Eagles. The appointment is with immediate effect.”

Labbadia’s first game in charge is the 2025 AFCON qualifier against the Benin Republic in Uyo on September 7 before the three-time African champions travel to Rwanda three days later.
