Coach Gbenga Ogunbote, who resigned from Giwa FC and rejoined Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan within days, has admitted that a tough challenge lies ahead of the team.
Although he began his reign with a 3-0 win over Akwa United last Sunday, the tactician believes more has to be done to ensure survival.
“To stay out of the relegation zone we have to win all our home games and also pick points on the road. We also have to be very active in the transfer market.
“At the moment we do not have a team yet but I’m hopeful that we shall be active before the transfer window closes,” Ogunbote enthused.
He was full of appreciation after the Oluyole Warriors humbled Akwa United at the Lekan Salami Stadium.
“I thank God for the match and the important win. I’m thankful to the Almighty
God for a good start.”
3SC players are yet to find their rhythm and the team has been struggling since the commencement of the season.
Assistant Coach, Friday Christopher, resigned last week claiming he has been left in the dark.
The former coach of Enyimba joined 3SC four days to the start of the second round of the NPFL 2015/16 season.
“I had to leave 3SC because I felt I was left in the dark,” he moaned.
“I expected that after the end of the first round of the NPFL we ought to sit down and evaluate our performance and map out the way forward by either bringing new players or allowing some leave.
“At least after the first round we ought to know what the problems were and then find a proper solution so as to head into the second round refreshed.”
