Former Shooting Stars coach Nurudeen Aweroro has dismissed allegations of bribery, stating that anyone claiming he took money from them should provide evidence. Aweroro, who was relieved of his duties before the 2026/27 season, guided the club to a third-place finish in the 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League. However, his assistant Shakiru Lawal and team manager Tammy Tamuno were also let go.
Aweroro defended his actions, explaining that players were sometimes rewarded for their efforts, citing an instance where Qamar Adegoke wanted to send money to him after struggling to score goals. He also mentioned that some players receive financial assistance, while others receive new boots. Regarding his health during his tenure at the club, Aweroro revealed that his blood pressure had reached 169, prompting his doctor to advise rest, but he remained focused on achieving the club's goals.
The club is currently in talks with former Rangers coach Imama Amapakabo and Salisu Yusuf as potential replacements.
