For a coach christened The Lion it comes as no surprise that Tusker FC midfielder Humphrey Mieno revealed that he has a strict father and son relationship with head coach Robert Matano.Matano is known for his disciplinarian principles and touchline outbursts on players as he never shies away from occasionally giving players the hairdryer treatment.Speaking to Mozzart Sport, Mieno opened up on his relationship with Matano noting that no player would want to cross paths with the 2009 Premier League winner. 📸| Humphrey.
