AFC Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda has revealed that the club is not looking for a new coach after the departure of Rwandese tactician Casa Mbungo earlier in the week.
Shikanda attributed the decision to the club's current financial situation, stating that they have not paid Mbungo's five-month salary arrears.
"We are not looking for a new coach because we haven't even paid the one who left us this week. My main priority is to look for money and pay players and not looking for a coach," said Shikanda in an interview with Nation Sport on Friday.
Ingwe has had a record 14 tacticians in a span of five years, and Shikanda says the current financial situation is what led to the exit of Mbungo.
Shikanda also revealed that the financial crisis since the exit of their sponsor, Sportpesa in August last year has also led to the departure of foreign players.
"We are taking a day at a time and due to the financial woes, we may not participate much in the January transfer window. Players have left but what is important this year is getting money to pay them and maintain those who are still in the team," he added.
