You're Fired: 3SC mask sacking history-making coach as 'mutual agreement' after 3-0 spanking by his ex

• The Immediate Axe: Shooting Stars SC permanently terminate the contracts of Head Coach Nurudeen Aweroro, Team Manager Tammy Tamuno, and Assistant Coach Shakiru Lawal with immediate effect.

• The Former Club Nightmare: The brutal boardroom execution follows an embarrassing 3-0 friendly thrashing by Ikorodu City, the exact club Aweroro left to take the Ibadan job.

• The Continental Crisis: The dramatic sackings happen just as the club prepares for a decisive CAF Confederation Cup battle against Tunisian heavyweights CS Sfaxien.

The ruthless nature of Nigerian football has claimed its most high-profile casualty yet, and the fallout has completely shocked the domestic sports community.

Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) have officially terminated the contract of head coach Nurudeen Aweroro, Team Manager Tammy Tamuno, and Assistant Coach Shakiru Lawal with immediate effect. 

The Ibadan-based heavyweights confirmed the dramatic structural purge via an official statement on their website, masking the brutal axing as a "mutual agreement" following emergency discussions between the board and the technical crew.

The catastrophic decision follows an unyielding board meeting triggered right after the Oluyole Warriors suffered a humiliating, scandalous 3-0 friendly thrashing at the hands of Aweroro's former employers, Ikorodu City.

Aweroro originally joined Shooting Stars in a high-profile switch from Ikorodu City, instantly working miracles to guide the club to a spectacular third-place finish in the 2025/26 NPFL campaign. 

His historic exploit successfully snapped a painful, nearly three-decade-long continental drought, securing 3SC a coveted ticket to the CAF Confederation Cup.

However, football destiny dealt a cruel hand. On the exact same day 3SC were drawn against Tunisian giants CS Sfaxien in the CAF Confederation Cup, they stepped out for a pre-arranged warm-up fixture against Ikorodu City. 

Instead of dominating, Aweroro watched his current side get completely torn to shreds in a 3-0 spanking by his former club, forcing the hierarchy to hit the panic button ahead of the new season.

While the interim assistant coaches have been ordered to take control of the technical department until a substantive manager is unveiled, the baseline data proves that Aweroro has set a towering standard in Ibadan.

The analytical breakdown of his exact 280-day era highlights a highly competitive baseline that the next coach will aggressively struggle to match:

The 3SC board publicly thanked the technical trio for their commitment and professionalism, but the timing of this dismissal proves that historical sentiment means absolutely nothing when a club gets humiliated by their closest rivals on the grass.
