Coach Gbenga Ogunbote is believed to now be in pole position to replace Kadiri Ikhana, who has quit his post at troubled Shooting Stars.
Last season, Ogunbote joined ‘The Oluyole Warriors’ mid-season and helped rescue them from relegation.
He has a lot of backing from the influential Shooting Stars fans, who hope he will come back to salvage the embattled club who languish in 18th place on the table with 17 points.
Some of the fans hope Ogunbote could join their darling team as early as this week, when his current club Giwa FC are most likely to be expelled from the league should they fail to honour a third game of the season.
“Ogunbote is best favoured to return to Shooting Stars. Majority of the fans back his return, they believe he can turn the fortunes of the club around, like he did last season.
Ikhana is widely believed to have thrown in the towel because of a raging cold war with general manager Rasheed Balogun.
