Sunshine Stars coach, Samson Unuanel, has become the first coach to be sacked in the ongoing Nigeria Professional Football League season following his 2-1 loss to MFM FC.
The board of the Ondo State Football Agency also confirmed the sacking of the club's technical director, Henry Abiodun.
Meanwhile, Sunshine Queens head coach, Kayode Olujohugbe, has been provisionally installed as the new gaffer pending appointment of a substantive coach later in the month by the Prince John Ola Mafo board.
Unuanel was named handler of the Akure based outfit in December 2015 following the exit of coach Kennedy Boboye who led the team to a sixth place finish on the Nigeria Professional Football League log last season.
“Coach Samson Unuanel and Henry Abiodun have been sacked by the board of the Ondo State Football Agency,” media officer Wahab Bankole confirmed to Goal on Thursday afternoon.
“Both have been at loggerhead for long and that has affected the team’s performance since the season started, little wonder the team is in the relegation zone – a position that is embarrassing for a team like Sunshine.
“Their row have affected the psyche of the players who have not justified the investment of the state government.
“Sunshine Queens handler Kayode Olujohungbe have been appointed the interim coach of the team and will be in charge when we [Sunshine Stars] host Ifeanyi Ubah in Sunday’s NPFL encounter in Akure,” he concluded.
