  "account": "Fans of Nigeria's 3SC, or Shooting Stars Sports Club, are clamoring for the return of former head coach Nurudeen Aweroro. The club, currently in the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League season, has been struggling under the management of Salisu Yusuf. This demand for Aweroro's reinstatement has grown louder after the early matches of the new season.\n\nAs of Matchday 7, the club has only managed seven points from seven games, placing them in the 17th position in the league table. However, they still have one match remaining. A fan-made video circulating among supporters calls for a complete overhaul in the technical staff and an immediate return of Aweroro.\n\nUnder Aweroro's guidance last season, 3SC managed to secure 11 points from the same number of matches, securing fifth place and the club's first continental ticket in 27 years. Aweroro led the team to a third-place finish in the 2025/26 campaign, earning them a spot in the 2026/27 CAF Confederation Cup. He resigned from the club by mutual consent in August, after being in charge for 280 days.\n\nMany supporters believe that the current results are not in line with the standards set during Aweroro's tenure and are urging the club's management to act quickly to reverse the situation. Yusuf is now facing increasing pressure to improve the team's performance and regain the confidence of the supporters as the season continues.",
