Gernot Rohr has backed his compatriot Bruno Labbadia to make an instant impact with the Super Eagles.
Labbadia was named Super Eagles head coach on Tuesday by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The 58-year-old will be the sixth German to manage the three-time African champions.
Rohr,who was in charge of the Super Eagles between 2016 and 2021 labelled Labbadia a very good coach.
“He’s a very good coach, I hope he’s well treated by the NFF and Nigerian fans,” the 71-year-old was quoted by SCORENigeria.
“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.
