Shooting Stars Turn To Ogunbote

Struggling Premier League side, Shooting Stars Sports Club have turned to Sharks gaffer, Gbenga Ogunbote to safe their season following the exit of Franklin Howard after 10 matches.

supersport.com learnt Ogunbote's contract is for the rest of the season.

Howard led the team to the elite class, but struggled to earn decent results and was eventually sacked last week.

Interestingly, Ogunbote continued from where he stopped last season with the Port-Harcourt side, but couldn't turn down the approach from 3SC.

Ogunbote's bitter experience with some fans of the club contributed to his decision to seek fortunes elsewhere and Shooting Stars capitalized on his availability.

"Ogunbote arrived at Ibadan on Wednesday and will watch the team for the first time on Thursday. He has been engaged as the club's new gaffer", a source at the club informed superrsport.com.

It's the first time Ogunbote will coach the famous Shooting Stars.
