The General Manager of Shooting Stars Sports Club of Ibadan, Dimeji Lawal, has dispelled rumours making the rounds that Olumide Edith Agoye is no longer the 3SC coach, BSNSports.com.ng can report.

3SC were lucky to escape relegation last season, maintaining the Nigeria Professional Football League NPFL) status with just on goal difference as Kano Pillars, Katsina United, MFM FC and Heartland FC went down to the Nigeria second-tier league.

Agoye who guided 3SC from the NNL to the NPFL in 2020/21 season has been under pressure following not-too-good performance from his lads. 

There have been rumours that former Remo Stars coach, Gbenga Ogunbote will take over from Agoye as Shooting Stars coach. Speaking with BSN Sports on the matter, former Super Eagles winger, Dimeji Lawal said "there is nothing like that. As it is, Agoye remains Shooting Stars coach unless he resigns, the management of 3SC and Oyo State government have not reached such conclusion with anybody.

He added, "in the next few days we will conclude all the necessary things ahead of the new season. Then, we shall come out and talk to Nigerians on the same issue. But one thing I can guarantee all the supporters and fans of the team is that, we will come out with flying colours in the 2022/23 NPFL season."
