Sunshine talks tough ahead Al Ahly clash
The management of the Nigeria Premier
League (NPL) side Warri Wolves has sacked the club’s Belgian-born coach,
Maurice Cooreman.
The former coach of Enyimba and Ocean
Boys was handed his sack letter on Sunday by the management after consideration
of the poor season the team had in which it barely survived relegation on the
last day of the league. Wolves was third on the league table when Cooreman took
over.
Cooreman, an experienced coach as far as
the NPL is concerned has coached Nigerdock and Gabros FC as well as two clubs
already mentioned above.
Impeccable sources revealed that Warri
Wolves management has set its sights on former Heartland Dutch coach, Lodewick
de cruif. It was also confirmed that Wolves boss, Amaju Pinnick has been in
talks with Cruif over taking charge off the Delta-based team.
Our correspondent also gathered that Warri
Wolves officials are presently in search of funds to pay up the backlog of debts
owed the Belgian tactician.
Also, sources have revealed that Coach
Austin Eguavoen may not get the job as Sharks handler because indigenes are happy
to stick with the club’s present coach Ere Dokubo to still handle the Port
Harcourt team next season.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s representative in
the ongoing CAF Champions League, Sunshine Stars of Akure has said it would be highly
motivated to beat Egypt’s Al Ahly in the first leg of the semifinal of the
tourney on Oct 7 in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
