Kakamega Homeboyz FC is currently in discussions with coach Francis Baraza regarding the possibility of him taking over as head coach, following the dismissal of Ken Kenyatta on Saturday evening.Kenyatta was relieved of his duties after a poor start to the season, managing just two draws and three defeats in five matches, leaving Homeboyz near the bottom of the table. His final game in charge was a heavy 4-1 loss to KCB FC in Murang’a, after which the club decided to part ways with him.##NAJAVA_MECA_8424491##Reports suggest that even before his exit, there were growing tensions between Kenyatta and the club’s playing over his alleged authoritarian style. The players were reportedly unhappy with his leadership, leading to a growing sense of inevitability around his departure.Now, the club has turned its attention to Baraza, a former Kenya Police FC coach, in an effort to turn their season around. Baraza is currently unattached, having recently parted ways with Tanzanian side Dodoma Jiji FC.If talks between the two sides are successful, Baraza could take the reins at Homeboyz. Former Nairobi United coach Paul Okatwa is also set to return to the club, this time as Baraza’s assistant.Supremacy struggles between FKF and Shabana threaten future of Kenyan football”It’s true that the club has approached Baraza, but nothing has been finalized yet. A face-to-face meeting is scheduled for Monday or Tuesday, and if an agreement is reached, he might lead the team against Nairobi City Stars on Wednesday. However, until then, nothing is confirmed,” a source close to the coach told Mozzart Sport.Baraza is a well-known figure in Kenyan football, having coached teams such as Sony Sugar, Muhoroni Youth, Western Stima, Tusker FC, and Kenya Police. In Tanzania, he has managed Biashara United, Mtibwa Sugar, and most recently, Dodoma Jiji FC.His last stint in Kenya ended controversially after being forced out by Police FC, a situation that led to a legal battle, with Baraza winning a settlement of over KES 4 million from the Sports Disputes Tribunal.KCB midfielder Faraj Ominde dedicates maiden league goal to late mother
