Ogunbote unsure of future at 3SC

Shooting Stars coach Gbenga Ogunbote is not certain of being with the Oluyole Warriors next season, despite helping the   club to turn their fortunes around this season.
The former Sharks manager joined the Ibadan outfit on a one-season deal in June, when 3SC were stuck to the bottom of the Premier League table.
He told our correspondent on Monday that he would have loved to strengthen the team at the end of the season but he would not be able to do that since his contract would have ended.

“I may want to continue or leave at the end of the season. It is possible the club might not want me to continue with them. It takes two to tango, both parties must be willing to work together before a contract can be agreed,” Ogunbote said.
“It is difficult to say if I will sign any player for the club. The reason is that I have a one-season contract with the team and it expires at the end of the season. I’m not thinking of signing any player at this stage unless I’m certain I will remain with the team.”
He added, “We have a team that could contend for the title.   We have a team as good as the league leaders. But the problem with the team is that we started to gel late.
“The target was that we should avoid relegation. But I’m looking beyond that by aiming at a decent position in the table at the end of the season. We may not really get what will gladden our hearts, like getting a CAF competition ticket, but we will be in a position that the fans will appreciate.
“I joined the team when they were 20th in the table. But with the support of the fans, and the determination of the players, we’ve been able to defy the odds by getting points where it was thought to be impossible.”
