Shooting Stars SC Coach, Ogunbote assures of improved performances for 2024 season
Posted : 28 June 2023
Shooting Stars Sports Club of Ibadan, Gbenga Ogunbote, has called on the stakeholders and the fans alike to get behind the team towards a better season ahead.
The Oluyole Warlords have endured a not-too-impressive season in the just concluded Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) campaign, coming out sixth in the Group A Abridged league and consequently did not make it to the knockout stages of the 2023 Federation Cup.
Ogunbote on Wednesday admitted that the team did not live up to expectations, but he has assured the fans that next season will be different.
“I want to assure our fans and the people of Oyo State we will represent them well next season and bring joy to their faces.
“I want to appeal to all of us to understand and look at the circumstances surrounding our games. Sorry for the results we got last season.
“We enjoin you [fans] to continue to give us support. Constructive criticism is allowed and helpful, nobody knows it all. We are just here to discharge our responsibilities which of course, by His grace, we are going to do.
Ogunbote also confirmed that the team has retained 18 players out of the players that represented the club last season, while five players have been promoted from Team B.
“In my coaching career, this is the second time that I will have a full section of the club without continental ticket, but sometimes it happens like that.
“We are hoping that we will have the financial strength to do that, so that we can manage some of those players that we retained.”
Football enthusiasts in Ibadan will be hoping for a better outing from their darling club next season.
