Edith Agoye, the head coach of the Sunshine Stars football club, Akure has been sacked.
The sacking of Agoye was announced by the state commissioner for sports and youth development, Hon. Bamidele Ologunloluwa, during a meeting with the coaching crew of the team
Other persons sacked were Agoye’s technical crew which included Assistant Coaches, Akin Olowokere, Banjo Adepoju, and Folorunsho Stephen.
The sport’s commissioner explained that the sacking of Agoye and his technical crew was due to poor run of form and disregard for several ultimatums given to them to change tactics.
He stated that the sacking was necessary to avoid the team fighting a relegation battle.
Ologunloluwa said: “It’s not going to be business as usual, I don’t want to fight relegation anymore, and it’s not about witch-hunting. Once a technical crew is not performing, the job is about hiring and firing as you know.
But Agoye thanked the commissioner for the opportunity to be the head coach and work with the team and wished the team well in the future.
“I can only wish the club all the best going forward and I wish the coming coach the best of luck.”
Sunshine Stars is currently 12th on the league table with 22 points from 19 matches.
