KCB sack head coach Patrick Odhiambo

Assistant coach Jeffer Odongo and Fitness trainer Eric Muranda were also relieved of their duties due to a below average performance that also saw the Bankers crash out of the FKF Cup in the quarter finals against Nairobi United.

Goalkeeping coach Samuel Koko Okoth will take charge on an interim basis for the remaining two matches of the 2024/2025 season.

Odhiambo was appointed last July on a one-year contract, replacing Bernard Mwalala, who left the Bankers to pursue personal interests.

The wheels have fallen off the Bankers in recent weeks in a season that held much promise and optimism after topping the standings in the early stages of this campaign, but are now on an eight-match winless run.

“We have had mutual discussions with the coach and the two assistants. We want to inject fresh impetus into the team to finish strong and prepare for the next season,” said KCB FC Chairman Bramwel Simiyu.

“KCB Football remains a crucial part of the KCB brand’s sporting platform. With that said, it’s imperative for us to take stock of where we are as we position ourselves more strongly for the future. We have an ambition to win the league and to sustain such a performance over the years,” he added.

KCB currently lie ninth in the league standings on 41 points from 32 matches played.

Okoth’s first match in charge will come on June 10 when they face Nairobi City Stars before finishing off the season with an away match against AFC Leopards five days later.

Odhiambo is the latest gaffer to be shown the door after Gor Mahia parted ways with their Serbian coach Sinisa Mihic last week.
