Preassure Mounts at the Top

That Chris Makokha has thrown in the towel as the head coach of AFC Leopards moments after being suffocated under the wrath of angry fans for dismal performance of the team confirms the fears that the veteran coach had long ran out of ideas and was only hanging in there courtesy of his rich coaching credentials.As his appointing authority eats humble pie and appoints a replacement, my two cents to them is to go deeper than a coaching history and settle for a combination of experience, energy and inspiration. Unfortunately, the management squandered their chances with the number one choice Nick Yakhama who rescued the club from relegation and earned it a coveted FKL cup that was quickly thown away in Ethiopia despite a three goal advantage.With the grape vine ripe with speculation as to whom will be appointed next, we at afcleopards.net can only hope that the eventual head coach will navigate his way through the murky waters of juggling between delivering acceptable results and dealing with the macho management of the club and the success-hungry die-hard Ingwe supporters. The coach will also need to devise an ambitious training and fielding plan to make the best of the availlable squad that openly lacks prerequisite experience, suave and urgency to fight fierce competition in the sunset hours of the KPL. "As supporters, we wish the new coach success and will support him to the end" said Fred Lutta, AFC national fans coordinator.
