Nurudeen Aweroro appointed head coach of Al-Hilal B team in Sudan

Nurudeen Aweroro has been named head coach of Al-Hilal B team, the youth side of Sudanese giants Al-Hilal, DAILY POST reports on August 21, 2026. He takes the role after leaving Shooting Stars, where he secured a CAF Confederation Cup ticket for the club after a 27‑year drought. Aweroro will oversee the club’s youth team, focusing on nurturing emerging players, improving their tactical understanding, and preparing them for senior‑level football demands.

Before Sudan, Aweroro managed Ikorodu City in the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL). His move abroad marks a step in his coaching career and highlights growing opportunities for Nigerian coaches in African club football. Al-Hilal’s B team serves as a pipeline to the senior squad, which competes in Sudan’s top league and continental tournaments.

The appointment means Aweroro will work with young talents aiming to break into Al-Hilal’s first team, potentially influencing the development of future Sudanese and possibly Nigerian‑eligible players. For Nigerian football enthusiasts, it shows a pathway for local coaches to gain international experience while contributing to youth development elsewhere.

Will you follow Aweroro’s progress with Al-Hilal B team as a indicator of Nigerian coaching talent abroad, or see his success as motivation to pursue similar opportunities in African club football?
