Shooting Stars Sports Club have appointed former Super Eagles coach Salisu Yusuf as their new Technical Adviser ahead of the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League season.
The Ibadan-based club announced Yusuf’s appointment in a statement, describing the experienced tactician as a valuable addition to its technical setup as the Oluyole Warriors prepare for a new campaign that will include continental football.
Yusuf returns to the NPFL after ending his spell with Benin Republic club Coton FC in June. He joined the club in August 2025 and guided them to a second-place finish in the Beninese top flight before both parties mutually agreed to end their relationship.
The 64-year-old coach has spent more than two decades in management, having begun his managerial career with Nasarawa United in 2002. He has subsequently worked with several Nigerian clubs, including Kano Pillars, Enugu Rangers and Enyimba.
At the international level, Yusuf has been involved with several Nigerian national teams. He served as an assistant coach of the Super Eagles and also handled the Super Eagles B and Nigeria Under-23 teams.
