Former Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr has backed his compatriot Bruno Labbadia to make an instant impact with the Super Eagles.
Labbadia was appointed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to head the Super Eagles on Tuesday.
The 58-year-old will be the sixth German to manage the three-time African champions.
Rohr said, “He’s a very good coach, I hope he’s well treated by the NFF and Nigerian fans.”
“He has experience in the Bundesliga, I hope he quickly finds his way in Nigeria, which is a different environment.”
Rohr will come up against Labbadia when Benin Republic face the Super Eagles in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying tie in Uyo on Saturday, September 7.
