Shooting Stars assistant coach, Akin Olowokere, slumped and died on Monday morning.
Olowokere is one of the coaches that were recently appointed by 3SC.
The former Sunshine Stars player and coach went down while in action, attracting medical attention immediately.
The incident happened at the Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu Ode, while the team was training for Matchday 2 of the ValueJet Cup 2025.
