Fußball-Bundesliga 2008–09: Bayer Leverkusen appoint Labbadia as head coach

May 26, 2008

Bayer Leverkusen has appointed SpVgg Greuther Fürth Head Coach Bruno Labbadia as the club's new Head Coach. Michael Skibbe was fired last week after failing to qualify for a European competition. Labbadia signed a 2-year contract.

Bruno Labbadia scored 103 goals in 328 Bundesliga games while playing as a forward for Bayern München, Werder Bremen and Hamburger SV.

Labbadia led Greuther Fürth to 6th place in the 2nd division in the 2007/08 season.
