Where were Sunshine Stars when you joined them last season?

The team was second to the last on the league table (19th) when I took over but by d grace of God, we escaped relation by finishing 15th position on the league. I also led the team to the semi finals of the National Federations cup.

That’s was a great feat, how did you manage to do that?

Well it was hard work and grace of God. I did all O need to do on the team and God crowned the effort.

What have you done so far this season? 

We are trying to do better than what happens last season, we have played seven matches so far, we have gone six games unbeaten. We have scored seven goals and concede just two goals. We are currently ninth in the league. We hope to get better.

I am looking forward to lead the team to top four and qualify for continental competition.

What was your playing career like?

I played football. I played for the following clubs Kwara United, Niger Tornadoes, NEPA FC, Insurance FC, Concord FC, Prime FC, Crown FC and Kogi United, before I traveled to Bahrain, where I played for Al Riffa.
