Sunshine Stars have appointed former Super Eagles coach Austin Eguaveon and Ike Shorunmu as Technical Adviser and goalkeeper trainer respectively.

Eguavoen replaces Samson Unuanel, fired by the club in March for bickering with Technical Director Henry Abiodun, who was also shown the exit.

Coach Kayode Olujohugbe of Sunshine Queens has been in charge of the club in an interim capacity.

The former Nigeria defender, who led the Super Eagles to a bronze medal finish at the 2006 African Nations Cup, has been tasked with steering the Owena Waves away from relegation waters where they have spent the best part of the first half of the season.

They currently lie in 18th place.
