Kenya Police FC CEO Chris Onguso has allegedly threatened to dismiss the entire squad, including the technical bench, following a disappointing start to the season.Expectations were high for Police this year, especially after their Mozzart Bet Cup victory last season, but the team has struggled to replicate last term’s form.Police’s league campaign began later than most, as they were participating in the CAF Confederation Cup, leading to postponements of their league matches against FC Talanta, Shabana FC, and Posta Rangers.##NAJAVA_MECA_8494676##Since their return, however, the team has struggled to find its footing, managing only one win in five matches—a narrow victory over Mathare United.The Law Enforcers have secured draws against Sofapaka, Ulinzi Stars, and Tusker, but their low point came with a 1-0 loss to Shabana at Gusii Stadium, marking Shabana’s first win of the season on Sunday.The disappointing performance at Gusii Stadium reportedly triggered CEO Onguso’s frustration, leading him to deliver a stern warning to the team in a WhatsApp forum.He threatened the players with possible dismissal and remarked that their continued presence on the team might depend on the mercy of senior officials.Onguso expressed willingness to bring in new players if current squad members fail to improve their performance.”This time around, if our chairman, Mr. Nyale, and board chairman, Dr. Bishop Akama, forgive you for the disappointing results, then they have thick skin.” “For me, I won’t have kind words for anyone. I am prepared to fire everyone and start fresh,” Onguso reportedly stated.Exclusive: AFC Leopards in potential legal dispute with Singapore kit maker over payment delaysKenya Police has been a prominent name in Kenyan football in the last three years, thanks to high-profile signings made since their promotion to the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) in 2021.However, despite the big investments, the team has yet to establish itself as a top contender, much to the frustration of fans and stakeholders alike.How Kapaito’s advice paved way for Mootian’s entry into Harambee StarsIn addition to poor performances, instability on the technical bench has also drawn criticism, with many fans attributing the team’s struggles to internal confusion.Recently, the team appointed Congolese coach Ishmael Balanga as technical director to work alongside respected Kenyan coaches Salim Babu and Anthony Kimani. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8495059##Supported by parastatal and corporate backing, Kenya Police has managed to avoid the financial difficulties that have impacted many Kenyan clubs.However, the team’s underwhelming performance this season has put pressure on management to make significant changes to improve the club’s fortunes.
