Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) has parted ways with their head coach, Nurudeen Aweroro, just days before the start of the new Nigeria Premier Football League season, bringing an abrupt end to his time in charge of the Ibadan-based side.
The Oluyole Warriors confirmed the development in an official statement, announcing that Aweroro, Team Manager Tammy Tamuno, and Assistant Coach Shakiru Lawal have all left their respective positions with immediate effect.
Shooting Stars did not disclose the specific reasons behind the decision, describing the departure as a mutual agreement following discussions between the club and members of the technical team.
“We have reached a mutual agreement with Head Coach Nurudeen Aweroro, Team Manager Tammy Tamuno, and Assistant Coach Shakiru Lawal to bring their respective contracts with the Club to an end, with immediate effect,” reads a statement on the club’s official website.
“The decision follows discussions between the Club and the affected members of the technical team, with both parties agreeing to part ways amicably.
“Shooting Stars appreciates Nurudeen Aweroro, Tammy Tamuno, and Shakiru Lawal for their commitment, professionalism, and contributions to the club during their respective periods of service.
”The Club particularly acknowledges their efforts in helping Shooting Stars achieve a third-place finish in the 2025/26 NPFL season and secure a continental ticket.
