On Thursday, Wazito FC unveiled Melis Medo as their new coach, marking a significant change for the Kenyan Premier League side.

Medo, an Egyptian-American coach, takes over from former Kenyan international Fred Ambani and technical director Stanley Okumbi, who were both sacked over the weekend following a string of poor results.

"I'm here to try and win the competitions we compete in. Everything we need is here and we have to play better and achieve good results," Medo explained.

Medo has experience in the Kenyan league, having previously taken charge of relegated Mount Kenya United twice and enjoying a six-month stint at Sofapaka.

Wazito FC is currently placed 13th in the 18-team league standings and will face Posta Rangers in Machakos on Sunday.
