Labbadia was appointed head coach of the Super Eagles by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on August 27, 2024.

The 58-year-old however pulled out of the agreement three days later.

The German tactician reportedly turned down NFF’s request due to financial differences.

The former Hamburg tactician has now opened up on his decision to quit the role.

“I wanted to go abroad now. The basic premise for me was, i have to go to Nigeria to see everything firsthand.That didn’t happen anymore after it was announced“, Labbadia told Flatterball podcast.

“It wasn’t about the salary anymore either. There were several organizational issues, which were problematic. It then got worse and worse, so I didn’t have two days left to meet the national team. Then I pulled the reins because the feeling was getting worse and worse.

“I wanted to be in Nigeria four, five days ahead of time, before the players arrives, to look at the experiences.” That didn’t work.

 

Labbadia also reflected on his conversation with the NFF.

 

“They were good conversations. And it matters to me: It was one and only my feeling that I didn’t have the time I needed to 100-percent concentration. That’s why I said goodbye.”
