November 21, 2019 - Wazito FC, owned by Ricardo Badoer, has been making waves in the Kenyan Premier League with their impressive performance in their first season back.
However, the team's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse, and Badoer has taken to social media to express his frustration with the players' performance.
In a tweet, Badoer warned the players that they need to 'pull up their socks' or risk being fired. This comes just hours after the team sacked coach Mellis Medo, who was in charge for only three matches.
Medo's tenure was marked by a series of poor results, including a 2-1 loss to Sofapaka, where he directed blame at the players, saying they lacked the skills to win.
Medo's comments sparked controversy, with many questioning his leadership style. However, it seems that Badoer has had enough of Medo's tactics, and the team has now appointed Frank Ouna as caretaker coach to help them avoid relegation.
Despite the team's struggles, Badoer remains optimistic, saying that the league is still open and that Wazito has a chance to achieve their targets.
