NPFL: 3SC head coach, Agoye quits after nine years in charge
Edith Olumide Agoye has quit his position as head coach of Nigeria Professional Football League outfit, Shooting Stars after nine years in charge of the club.
Agoye helped 3SC gain promotion to the NPFL in the 2020/21 season but constant criticism from supporters has forced the former striker to leave his post.
The former NPFL champions managed to escape the drop last season.
The Oluyole Warlords finished in 16th position on the table and only escaped relegation due to a better goal difference to 17th placed Katsina United.
“After 9 years as a coach, five years as the head coach in which we gained promotion back to the NPFL and maintained our premier league status, l have decided to leave my position as the head coach of the club,” Agoye was quoted by BSN Sports.
“l feel it is time for me to leave Shooting Stars Sports Club, 3SC, in pursuit of new challenges.”
Veteran tactician, Gbenga Ogunbote is the favourite to replace Agoye.
Ogunbote led Remo Stars to a third-place finish last season.

Installation of e-gates at airports is to enhance national security – Minister
Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo says the installation of e-gates at the five international airports in the country will enhance national security.
He also said it would ensure seamless processing of passengers coming into and going out of the country.
The minister made the remarks on Friday when he inspected the newly installed e-gates at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Tunji-Ojo said that from the preliminary test conducted, it will take less than 30 seconds to process passengers with valid passports, thus reducing the delays and inconveniences hitherto faced by passengers.
He said about 21 e-gates would be installed at Lagos airport by the end of April, while those in Kano, Port Harcourt, and Enugu would be ready by the third week of May.
“Having tested it on various scenarios, we saw that a Nigerian carrying a valid passport will only take less than 30 seconds to be checked in, which I think is a record time.
“We have also tested it with people carrying other people’s passport, and we saw that it is practically impossible for people to use another person’s passport to gain entrance into the country unlike in the past.
“With what we have also seen, it is practically impossible to enter into the country with an expired passport,“ he added.
According to him, the scanners will enhance the nation’s security architecture and enable immigration officials to work seamlessly.
The minister thanked President Bola Tinubu for his support towards making the project a reality.
