Rising Stars’ Manager, Sunday Erelesusi has vowed to turn around the fortune of his side with few lecture notes he picked from the WIAWA coaching course.

Erelesusi was among the Nigeria Premier League, NPL coaches and national team coaches that attended the FIFA ‘Win-in-Africa-with-Africa’ one-week course in Abuja organised at the instance of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.

The NPL newcomers are bottom of the standings with a pitiable 22 points from a possible 75 though with a match at hand against Heartland.

Erelesusi who confessed picking winning tricks from the WIAWA course informed SuperSport.com that the impact will be felt in his side’s next matches.

“I must confess that the WIAWA coaching course has brightened my knowledge and I’m hopeful Rising Stars will profit massively from my experience.

“In the next few matches the gains will start to manifest leading to an upward turn around in our fortune.
