Aweroro Reveals Pressure and Interference Behind Shooting Stars Exit

Aweroro Reveals Pressure and Interference Behind Shooting Stars Exit

Former Shooting Stars coach Nurudeen Aweroro says he was not surprised when the club asked to end his appointment by mutual consent after one season. Aweroro said he was told the club doubted his ability to meet the demands of competing in both the NPFL and continental football. He also described pressure from within the club, including threats over results and disagreements about player selection. The coach further explained that he left Ikorodu City because he felt the club’s technical director, Bright Ozebagbe, was interfering with his work as head coach.

Do fans think competing in the NPFL and continental football was genuinely beyond the coach, or was the pressure around the job the bigger issue?

I agree, the pressure and interference around a role can matter as much as the demands of competing on multiple fronts.

A mutual-consent exit after one season can still reflect a difficult working environment, especially when expectations include league and continental commitments.

The club's concern about handling two competitions is not automatically interference; balancing those demands is a fair standard for a coach.

Shooting Stars should state clear targets, decision-making boundaries, and support plans before the next appointment, so expectations do not become confusion.
