Edith Agoye has been announced as the new Head Coach for the Shooting Stars Football Club of Ibadan.
Agoye’s appointment as the replacement for the erstwhile manager Fatai Amoo who was sacked earlier in the week was confirmed on Thursday ahead of the new season.
Amoo was sent packing having failed to save the Oluyole Warriors from going down on relegation from the Nigeria Professional football League.
The new Head Coach was an ex- Shooting Stars player and also worked under Amoo in the last dispensation.
He was a part of the Shooting Stars team that last won the Nigerian Professional League and Cup double in 1996.
3SC in a statement on Thursday explained that the decision to make Agoye the head coach was taken by the club management after an exhaustive interview session involving several coaches.
The Club’sExecutive Chairman, Gbolagade Busari, said the management settled for Agoye primarily because of his knowledge about the composition of the team and to maintain continuity in the development of the young players who will form the fulcrum of the new Shooting Stars.
“Majority of our players are from the feeders and to continue inspire their development, we felt Agoye is in good position to do this,” Busari stated.
He further said the mandate given to the new Head Coach is to work assiduously to return the team to the elite of the Nigeria Premier League.
