Sunshine Queens have parted ways with head coach Kayode Olujohungbe following a review of the team's performance in the NWFL season. The club announced the decision in a statement released on Friday, citing the need for a change in direction to improve their standing. Olujohungbe's tenure ended after 13 league matches, during which the team recorded two wins, six draws and five losses. The Akure-based club currently sits ninth in NWFL Group B with 12 points. The management thanked Olujohungbe for his service and wished him success in future endeavours, though no replacement has been named.
Sunshine Queens have struggled for consistency under the former coach, failing to secure a win in more than half of their matches. The draw-heavy record suggests difficulty in converting dominance into victories. The sacking marks a pivotal moment in their campaign as they aim to climb the table. No further details were provided regarding interim arrangements or a permanent successor.
A coach delivering just two wins in 13 games was always on shaky ground, and Olujohungbe's exit signals a clear admission that survival in the league demands more than stalemates. When a team accumulates six draws, it exposes a lack of cutting edge — and in a league where points are hard to come by, that cost Sunshine Queens momentum. The real test now is not just hiring a new coach, but ensuring he has the tools to turn near-results into wins.
