Sofapaka FC head coach Robert Matano is now the frontrunner to take over as head coach at Kenya Police FC, Mozzart Sport can report.This development comes after the law enforcers dissolved their entire technical bench just over a week ago due to a slow start to the new season.##NAJAVA_MECA_8528304##The team was temporarily handed over to the women’s team coach, Beldine Odemba, who oversaw two games against Kariobangi Sharks and KCB FC, both ending in draws.Odemba has since departed to Morocco with the national women’s team, Harambee Starlets, for two friendly matches.The club has now turned to Matano, a veteran coach with four league titles to his name, to help turn their fortunes around.Sources close to the club indicate that it is only a matter of time before he is officially unveiled as the new head coach of Kenya Police FC.Matano is set to become the latest in a string of coaches to lead the team, which has become known as a tough environment for managers just a few years after their promotion to the top tier.Former Harambee Stars captain defends underfire coach Engin FiratThe seasoned coach will lead Sofapaka against Murang’a Seal on Thursday, possibly his final or penultimate match before joining the law enforcers.He will be tasked with lifting the team from their current position in the relegation zone.“It’s almost done. Talks have been held, and he is willing to join the team. The only thing left is to discuss with his club and agree on his release. From his side, he has assured us that he is ready to join us,” a source from Kenya Police FC stated.When contacted, Sofapaka CEO Ronald Okoth confirmed that no formal approach had been made by Kenya Police FC but acknowledged the reports linking Matano to the club. He also emphasized that Matano would only leave if the club’s demands were met.“They haven’t reached out officially, but I’ve heard rumors that they are interested in our coach. So far, no formal talks have occurred, so it remains just a rumor,” Okoth said.“However, if they reach out and meet our demands, we’ll talk. Matano has a running contract for the next year, and if a club wants him, they will have to buy it. For now, he remains our coach until there are any new developments,” he added.800m star Mary Moraa, DEM WA FB’s historic cash donation to Bungoma Queens
