Shooting Stars Sports Club coaching staff departure
Overview
Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) announced the departure of head coach Nurudeen Aweroro, team manager Tammy Tamuno, and assistant coach Shakiru Lawal by mutual consent. The separation occurred following a 2025/26 season where Aweroro led the club to a third-place finish in the Nigeria Premier Football League, securing a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Following the announcement, Aweroro addressed the departure, stating he anticipated the decision as the club felt he might not meet specific demands for competing in the NPFL and on the continent. He noted that his tenure involved significant internal pressures, including disagreements over player selection and tactical choices, as well as interference regarding his coaching staff.
