The air is now clear after there have been various names of managers linked to the Akure based club. Much was not said about Unuanel but the former Kwara United coach has been appointed after being sacked by Afonja warriors. Samson Unuanel will have a big task of qualifying the Akure club for CAF champions league after they missed out on the Confederation cup in the just concluded season.

Former Kwara United coach Samson Unuanel has been appointed the new coach of Nigeria premier league side Sunshine Stars.

According to the club's media officer, Wahab Bankole, the coach has sealed the deal.


"Samson Unuannel is the new coach of Sunshine Stars..... Welcome to Sunshine State," Wahab Bankole wrote on his Facebook page.

Unuanel has replaced Kennedy Boboye, who quit at the end of the 2015 season after he led the Akure club to finish sixth on the league table.

Unuanel led Kwara United to the NPFL in 2014, but was replaced by the club management before the 2015 NPFL season started.
