Matano, the most successful local coach has won three league titles with Tusker(2012,2021 and 2022). He also won the title with Sofapaka in 2009 and as well as inspired Leopards and Nairobi City Stars to clinch the Cup in 2005 and 2017 respectively. “I have struggled with this team and I don’t think I will be here anymore. I will certainly leave. I am not respected in this team at all. There is someone who doesn’t want me here but I am happy I have proved him wrong, ” he said.Matano’s outburst comes amid reports that Kenya Police who have been spending heavily since their promotion to top flight football are in pole position to acquire his services.Meanwhile, Matano believes that we’re it not for the determination of the players and his experience in as far as coaching is concerned the team would not have retained the title they won under pressure from Kakamega Homeboyz.
