Kakamega Homeboyz have announced the appointment of Ken Kenyatta as the new head coach, following the departure of Patrick Odhiambo to KCB.

Kenyatta, who previously managed FC Talanta before being dismissed last season, has been given a one-year contract with the club.

Homeboyz Chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has confirmed the appointment of Kenyatta, saying his wealth of experience in the Kenya Premier League was key in his appointment.

"I believe that we have brought in a good coach with vast of experience and touch of Kenyan football, and with him we will achieve our intended goals."

Kenyatta joined Talanta FC in 2020 from the defunct Ushuru FC where he inspired Talanta to gain promotion to the top tier the following year after five years in the National Super league.

The CAF A holder has promised to enhance the team's performance in the FKF Premier League title next season.

"The only thing I'll want to do for Kakamega Homeboyz is to prepare the team thoroughly. I have admired this team for a long time, and how we approach our matches will be crucial. My goal is to lead the team in a positive direction and strive for the championship. Preparing the team well is key to our success,” he said.

Homeboyz FC Team Manager Boniface Imbenzi is also optimistic Kenyatta will succeed at the club.

"We are happy to receive him as our new tactician, we will offer support and team work needed so that we make this club great," said Imbenzi.

Kakamega Homeboyz finished eighth place in the FKF Premier League last season, under Odhiambo's management.
