AFC Leopards coach Casa Mbungo is on the verge of quitting the club due to the dire financial situation and poor working conditions.
Mbungo, who has not received his salary for the past five months, feels isolated by the management and is struggling to cope with the ongoing strike by the players.
"I feel neglected by the management since nobody has been talking to me concerning my salary and the players have also not been paid for the five months now," Mbungo said.
The Rwandan coach is now appealing to the club leadership to step in and address the situation, which has been worsened by the exit of their shirt sponsor, SportPesa, from the Kenyan market.
Leopards has struggled financially since February 2019, when Mbungo joined the club, taking over from Serbian Marko Vasiljevic who resigned after a series of poor results.
"Things have been very tough for the players. I'm also passing through hard times and it is only God who has been faithful and kept me going," Mbungo added.
