Nigerian football club, Shooting Stars Sports Club, popularly known as 3SC, has been hit by a wave of resignation by from its top-tier staff, Igbere TV reports.
Head coach of the club, Edith Agoye; General Manager, Rasheed Balogun and Team Manager, Dimeji Lawal, have all announced their resignation from the Ibadan-based club.
The resignations come after the Oluyole lost 3-0 defeat to Akwa Starlets in a promotion match at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, on Monday.
The defeat consigns the club to another season in second-tier.
“We tried to get the (promotion) ticket in January in Aba, it didn’t happen. This time again in Asaba, it didn’t come. So having tried twice consecutively and were unable to get it done, it is important we stepped out for others to come in,” spokesman of 3SC, Tosin Omojola, said.
A traditional and famous side, 3SC, was there when the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) was founded in 1972.Several honours have come their way including five league titles and a continental crown.
However, since the turn of the millennium, the Oluyole Warriors’ have not been as dominant as they once were.
