Yesterday, KCB FC parted ways with head coach Bernard Mwalala and appointed Patrick Odhiambo as the new head coach after leaving Kakamega Homeboyz ahead of the new campaign that gets underway on Saturday 24 August.Although the Bankers’ statement said that the tactician had left to pursue other personal interests, Mozzart Sport understands that the club had to make changes due to Mwalala’s lack of the prerequisite CAF A license.##NAJAVA_MECA_8216346##Last week, FKF announced that all top-flight coaches must have CAF A licenses while assistant coaches must have CAF B licenses, putting a number of head coaches and assistant coaches’ jobs at risk.Mozzart Sport takes a look at FKF Premier League coaches who are staring at job losses for having a CAF B License or below:Nicholas Muyoti (Nairobi City Stars): The soft-spoken tactician built an exciting and dynamic young team last season, finishing sixth in the log. However, he has a CAF B License and risks being forced out of his current employment position.Salim Babu (Kenya Police FC): He is known for playing eye-catching football, but this could be brought to a halt by the new requirements as he also has a B License. Babu led Police to the Mozzart Bet Cup title last season and last December, he led the Kenya U18 team to the CECAFA U18 Championship final. However, they have coach Abdul Iddi Salim, their goalkeepers’ coach, who has an A license, and they could work on an in-house solution.John Waw reveals reason behind leaving Kakamega Homeboyz, promises big transferJohn Baraza (Bandari): Baraza enrolled in the CAF A class last year but did not fulfill the requirements to be handed the A license, putting him at serious risk of losing his job or dropping back to the role of assistant coach. Twahir Muhiddin and Ken Odhiambo have both been linked with the job.Juma Abdallah (Murang’a Seal): The veteran coach is also facing the chop as he does not have an A License. He possesses a CAF B or C License, making him ineligible for the job as per the new requirements. Seal could turn to a local solution as John Njogu, one of the technical bench members, graduated with an A License early this year.Jackson Gatheru (FC Talanta): Gatheru managed to save Talanta from relegation last season after being handed the mantle temporarily following Ken Kenyatta’s dismissal. However, he does not have the required license and is certainly set to be replaced.Ezekiel Akwana (Sofapaka FC): The Sofapaka interim coach kept the team in the top tier through the playoffs against Naivas FC. However, the veteran coach does not have the required CAF A License and is equally facing the chop.Benedict Wanjala (Mara Sugar): Wanjala led the Sugar Millers to the top tier by topping the National Super League last season. However, that may have been his last contribution to the team as, barring any changes in the laws, his CAF C License does not allow him to be even on the bench as an assistant coach.Musa Mohammed keen on making Harambee Stars comeback after three years in the cold
