Exclusive: Wazito name new head coach, hand Nkata a different role

Wazito FC have completed the appointment of Charles Odero as their new head coach. He succeeds Jeffers Odongo, who left the club for Kakamega Homeboyz a week ago.Odera crosses over from APS Bomet. This is after the National Super League side was relegated to the third tier for failing to honor three successive second-tier matches; they still have a case in court challenging the nullification of last season’s leagues, which they hope to win.##NAJAVA_MECA_7046415##Odera has now decided to cross over to Muhoroni to take over as head coach. He will officially begin duty on Monday, as per the club.”Odera is our new head coach; he will officially take over on Monday. He will be assisted by Ibrahim Ateng and Samuel “Abawa” Odhiambo. Abawa will also serve as the goalkeepers’ coach. Moses Nyalik will continue as our team manager,” club chairman Moses Adagala told Mozzart Sport. Jeffers Odongo speaks on his Wazito exit after joining HomeboyzEarlier reports had indicated that Wazito had settled on Ugandan coach Paul Nkata as their new coach, and Adagala has now shed more light on the veteran’s real role.”People are always quick to run with unconfirmed news. We never appointed Nkata as our head coach; that information did not come from our club. Nkata’s role is that of a technical director; he’s experienced, and I think the young technical bench that we have assembled will benefit from his guidance,” he added.However, a reliable source says Muhoroni Youth was allegedly warned over having Paul Nkata in their technical bench by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Integrity Department. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7041882##On Odera’s ability to lead the team, Adagala believes that the former Kenya international has what it takes to take the club out of the relegation slots. The tactician has previously handled Chemelil Sugar U20, Chemelil Sugar (interim coach), and Muhoroni Youth FC.”He’s a good coach. He did a good job with APS Bomet and ended up finishing the season in the top position. I know him at a personal level, and I am confident that we will perform well; we will give him all the necessary support,” he added.Wazito will be in Nairobi on Saturday to take on Mathare United at the Ruaraka Grounds.
