FORMER Super Eagles Assistant Coach, Fatai Amoo, has returned to Nigeria Premier League side, Sunshine Stars of Akure, as the technical adviser of the Ondo State team.
The Guardian learnt that the management of the teamMonday unveiled the 3SC former gaffer with the responsibility of handling the team for the rest of the season.
The Guardian recalls that the former Head Coach of Sunshine, Samuel Abimbola, was relieved of his post last month by the management of the club following a string of bad results.
Abimbola’s assistant, Napoleon Aluma, was then asked to take over temporarily.
The coach’s sack was revealed by the Head of the Technical Committee of the Ondo State Football Agency (ODSFA), Akin Akinbobola, who said the team had been performing below the expectations of the agency.
Sunshine Stars was Nigeria’s representatives in last year’s CAF Champions League, where it got to the semifinals. It currently has 21 points from 15 matches to occupy the 12th position on the Nigerian Professional Football league (NPLF) table.
Before his appointment, Amoo was scheduled to travel to the United States for a refresher course. The training was part of Amoo’s efforts to acquire more knowledge in the ever-changing world of football.
Amoo, a member of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA), told The Guardian last week that the course would afford him the opportunity to rub minds with some of the top coaches in the world.
NSCAA, which is the world’s largest coaches body, organizes regular training for coaches drawn from all over the world.
