FKF-PL: Several big team coaches face the sack
Gor Mahia coach Sinisa Mihic gestures on the touchline during their FKF Premier League match against Mathare United at Dandora Stadium on February 8, 2025.
What you need to know:
- Meanwhile, KCB under Patrick Odhiambo set the early pace but just could not hold on to their table lead. The bankers are now ninth on 41 points after a nine-match winless run.
- Nyaudo returned to Ulinzi at the start of the season but has been unable to improve the fortunes of the soldiers.
As the Football Kenya Federation Premier League nears the end of its season many teams are contemplating coaching changes over unsatisfactory results.
Already Gor Mahia have parted ways with their tempestuous Croatian coach Sinisa Mihic.
K’Ogalo, lying third on the league table, are faced with a Herculean task, even though they have a game in hand, of catching up with league leaders Police who hold a seven-point advantage with two round of matches remaining.
Tusker coach Charles Okere, his Bandari counterpart Ken Odhiambo, Ulinzi Stars' Danstan Nyaudo and KCB’s Patrick Odhiambo all seem to be living on borrowed time.
Even though the management of these clubs have not come out clearly on whether they will fire their coaches the trend in the league over the years shows that indeed the tacticians are never spared for poor results.
Sources at Tusker, indicate that after the humiliating 7-1 thrashing at the hands of Sofapaka last weekend that all but ended their title race, Okere fate will be decided at the end of the season.
Perennial Kenyan champions
The brewers, perennial Kenyan champions with 13 titles, are second on the log on 55 points with two matches to play against Kariobangi Sharks and Kakamega Homeboyz.
Mathematically, they are still in the race but they will have to win the two matches and heavily outscore Police to be guaranteed the 2025 crown.
Ken Odhiambo was appointed Bandari coach in July last year for a third stint But Bandari’s charge petered out and they now lie a distant eighth on 42 points.
Meanwhile, KCB under Patrick Odhiambo set the early pace but just could not hold on to their table lead. The bankers are now ninth on 41 points after a nine-match winless run. Nyaudo returned to Ulinzi at the start of the season but has been unable to improve the fortunes of the soldiers.
