Coaches of 3SC of Ibadan, Oyo State could be the first major casualties in the Nigeria league after the Ibadan club crashed to a fifth away loss at ABS on Sunday.
Hakeem Busari and Tunde Odubola have been temporarily in charge of ‘The Oluyole Warriors’ since the middle of last season, but as the team are struggling to find their bearings, especially away from home, the coaching crew may well be looking elsewhere for a job.
“They have failed again,” a top 3SC official disclosed to MTNFootball.com yesterday in reference to the caretaker coaches.
