Bandari head coach Kennedy Odhiambo has reacted to reports of his potential sacking and calls by fans to the management to relieve him of his duties.The former Harambee Stars assistant coach has been under immense pressure due to a bad run that has seen the Dockers lose six of their last eight games. Mozzart Sport learnt that the former Sofapaka coach was given two games by the management to save his job, one of which he already lost to Kakamega Homeboyz on Saturday 19 April 2025 at the KPA Sports Club, Mbaraki.##NAJAVA_MECA_8877176##Against Homeboyz, fans called for his sacking, adding to his miseries. During his post-match press conference, Odhiambo said that the pressure is part of the job.“Pressure is there daily even when you win. If you do not have pressure then you are not a good coach. If you are winning, you have the pressure to win everything in front of you. If you are losing, you have to feel the pressure of losing,” said Odhiambo.Bandari coach given one more game to save jobOdhiambo, who rejoined Bandari in July 2024, attributed his side’s loss to Homeboyz to wastefulness in front of goal and poor display from his team.“If there is a game that we have played poorly, it is against Homeboyz. If there is a game where we had so many chances, then it is this because we failed to score into an empty net twice.What is the coach supposed to teach you? Should the coach teach you how to score? I could even score that myself. These are some of the things that I have been saying about being clinical,” he added.Harambee Stars defender opens up on what inspired his switch from rugby to footballAdditionally, Odhiambo blamed his side’s sloppy defense for Moses Shummah’s 74th minute winner.“We lost at home from a goal that was not even a chance. It is now all about awareness. Defender should know where the ball and the opponent are. The defender ought to have played the ball out to safety, it was not even dangerous. There are things that you cannot even explain how they are happening,” he explained.
