Barely two months since making return to Kenya football, the 2016 Premier League title winning coach Paul Nkata has noted a worrying low the top flight has sunk to in recent times.Nkata made way back to Kenyan football last month after more than three years in the cold when National Super League side Muhoroni Youth acquired his services for a second time.His return to Muhoroni came three months after record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia instantaneously revoked his appointment under unclear circumstances.Gor had announced that the veteran tactician would serve as head coach on interim basis but perhaps after reading the public mood, the club opted to sign Michael Nam as an assistant to Andreas Spier. 🟢 | ANNOUCEMENT As a club, we have made a decision to part ways with coach Mark Harrison, Assistant coach Sammy Omollo and goalkeeper trainer Jerim Onyango; Paul Nkata will take charge on an interim basis.We thank the 3 for services offered to the club.#Sirkal | #Betsafe pic.twitter.com/OeQgi6A0yH— GOR MAHIA FC (@OfficialGMFC) January 29, 2022 The Ugandan tactician while giving his assessment on the levels of Kenyan football from the handful of top flight matches he had watched noted that the quality was nowhere closer to that the country had in yesteryears.The former Bandari gaffer said lack of title sponsors, broadcast partners,empty stands and generally quality on the pitch were dangerous signs of regression.”I have watched a handful of matches since I came back and I was quick to take note of the backpedaling in terms of quality.
