October 21, 2019, marked a turning point for Wazito FC, a team that had high hopes for the Kenyan Premier League season. However, their poor start has led to a shake-up in the team's management.
Head coach Fred Ambani and Technical Director Stanley Okumbi were shown the door by Wazito FC chairman Ricardo Badoer. This decision was made in an effort to get the team back on track and working towards their goals.
Chairman Ricardo Badoer warned that anyone who is not willing to work will be cut off. He emphasized the need for the team to step up and bring their A-game, or they will face the consequences.
"There is no need to explain this decision and within a day or two our new Head coach will be presented. Saying all that I need also to remind Wazito FC players to step up and bring their fucking A game or their ass will also be kicked the fuck out." — Ricardo Badoer (@Donrico77) October 21, 2019
However, Wazito's misfortunes cannot be directly blamed on the management. The team thrived in the National Super League last season under the same management. Wazito FC made drastic changes in the team after it earned promotion back to the premier league.
The team invested heavily in new additions, but their form has since deteriorated. It is only a matter of time before Wazito gets their mojo and the new team develops chemistry.
